"A vivid tribute to the fearless deputy marshals who carried the law into the wildest reaches of the frontier." -Chris Enss, New York Times Bestselling Author of Tilghman: The Legendary Lawman and the Woman Who Inspired Him

In the lawless frontier of the late 19th century, Fort Smith, Arkansas, was the last stop before Indian Territory-a land crawling with outlaws, fugitives, and desperate men who thought the badge held no power. They were all wrong.

Judge Isaac C. Parker, the legendary "Hanging Judge," was appointed to bring order to the most violent criminal jurisdiction in America-and he needed enforcers willing to ride straight into hell. The Deputy U.S. Marshals who answered that call became legends-men like Bass Reeves, Heck Thomas, and countless others whose names have been lost to history. Armed with a badge, a fast horse, and unshakable determination, they tracked murderers, thieves, and desperados across 74,000 miles of untamed wilderness.

Award-winning author and historian Velda Brotherton brings their stories to life in Lawless Frontier, an essential tribute to the men and women who rode for the judge-and for justice-in the wildest reaches of America. The book features a foreword by New York Times bestselling author and retired Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Marc Cameron, offering unique perspective from one of the modern West's most respected lawmen.
