The first book in the “Shorty U.S. Marshal” series from Paul L. Thompson has arrived! Shorty Thompson trailed a herd of stolen cattle from New Mexico Territory to Wyoming and finds more trouble than he can handle. Even the cavalry is in on this deal. With a disgruntled woman, he heads for Washington, D.C. for help. Rutherford Birchard Hayes, 19th President of the United States, needed a U.S. Marshal in New Mexico Territory. When Shorty showed up in Washington asking for help with some cattle rustlers, President Hayes knew he had his man. Wet and near frozen to the bone, James (Buffalo) Blackburn and all of his gold is saved by Shorty Thompson. Buffalo is grateful and gives Shorty a full partnership in a whole gob of gold. A mountain full, and what he had packed on two mules that he’d left tied to a stump about six miles back. All they had to do was go back and get it. While Buffalo goes to New Mexico and buys a ranch, Shorty finishes off the outlaws in Wyoming. Not only is Shorty now a U.S. Marshal, he’s also one of the richest ranchers in New Mexico Territory.
