Ben Irons - A Western Novel Joe D Bailey

Nine years after the Stalking Ghost had died and was buried north of the Canadian River, hard against the New Mexico territorial line, in the Texas Panhandle, Ben Irons thought his days of hunting killers and thieves was over. Then, a wealthy rancher rode up in Ben's ranch house and asked him to ride into the Indian Territory and bring back his kidnapped, 15 year old daughter. Ben, his young brother in law, Michael Evers, take on the task, not knowing that the rescuing of the girl would draw them into a several month long manhunt and bring untold grief to their family and friends. Come and ride along with Ben, Mike, Deke, Ike and friends as they try to rid west Texas in the 1880's. A great character study of men doing the difficult task of bringing justice to wild country.
