A gritty, high-stakes frontier saga follows a towering fighter as he battles a mob, danger, and justice in a tense Southern town. This powerful story thrusts you into brutal chases, hand-to-hand combat, and a courtroom that erupts in chaos.
In a world of sweat, dust, and broken loyalties, the narrative moves from siege-like lumber yards to a courthouse trial where violence, truth, and life hang in the balance. The pace stays relentless as characters collide, secrets surface, and courage is tested in the harsh glare of law and mob rule.
- Vivid, action-driven scenes of pursuit, combat, and misfortune in a rough town.
- A perilous bid for freedom that rides the currents of danger and trust.
- A courtroom sequence where fear, power, and justice clash in unforgettable ways.
- A cast of larger-than-life figures, each driven by pride, loyalty, and survival.
Ideal for readers who crave gritty, atmospheric tales of crime, vengeance, and social tension in a frontier setting.

Foreword. The stories in this volume were written simply because of my interest in the stories themselves and because of a whimsical fondness for the people of that Race to whom God has given two supreme gifts, Music and Laughter. For the benefit of the curious, I may say that many of the incidents in these tales are true and many of the characters and places mentioned actually exist. The Hen-S cratch saloon derived its name from the fact that many of its colored habitu6s played craps on the ground imder the chinaberry trees tmtil the soil was marked by their scratching finger-nails like a chicken-yard. The name Tickfall is fictitious, but the locality will be easily recognized by the true names of the negro settlements, Dirty-S ix, Hell s-H alf-A cre, Shiny, Tinrow, flying in the sand around that rich and aristocratic little town like pigs arotmd their dam and drawing their sustenance therefrom. Skeeter Butts sreal name is Perique.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
