Riding Shotgun — Robert M. Johnson

Law and Order is still a precious and rare commodity on the frontier following the Civil War. Thomas Fletcher had followed in his father's footsteps and joined the cavalry. The horrors of the War drove all the “soldiering” out of young Fletch and he began to drift, first hiring on with Wells Fargo to guard their stagecoaches. That was where he developed his love of the 12guage shotgun which became his life's companion. Warren Tate was a hired gun, known for his ability to bring law and order to the frontier towns of Kansas and Missouri. He and Fletch partnered up to help the folks of Lucking Mills Kansas deal with a threat from marauding guerilla bands. These remnants of William Quantrill's Raiders were still a force to deal with, even years after the War was over. Tate and Fletcher will be called on to use all their courage and ingenuity in dealing with the contingencies. Riding Shotgun tells their story.
