A heavily researched western historical novel based on the life of legendary western lawman, Bill Tilghman. The book takes Tilghman from his early days as a buffalo hunter out of Dodge City to serving as the Marshal of Dodge, and later the Deputy U.S. Marshal who became one of the Three Guardsmen of Oklahoma to his last arrest in 1924 at age 70. His friends were legends themselves: Wyatt Earp; Bat Masterson; Wild Bill Hickok; Teddy Roosevelt; and Heck Thomas. The great Rough Rider, Teddy Roosevelt said "Tilghman would charge Hell with only a bucket. Bat Masterson summed him up relative to the rest of the great western lawmen as "he was the greatest of us all."
