First edition of this wonderful Western by the youngest man ever appointed deputy U.S. Marshall.Before he even became a lawman, the Irish-born author Patrick Sylvester McGeeney thwarted a train robbery by the notorious train robber Henry Starr, who was said to have robbed more banks than Jesse James. Appointed as deputy U.S. Marshall at 19 years of age, McGeeney served with the legendary lawmen Bill Tilghman, Heck Thomas, and Chris Madsen, who were best known as the "Three Guardsmen".
