Book Description
Colton Garrett was the third son born to Casper and Beulah Garrett during the times of the Old West. All the Garrett brothers were known to be fast on the draw with their pistols, but Colton grew up to be the fastest gun throughout the Great State of Texas. Those that saw him when he was forced to draw his guns whispered he wasn't human because of the speed his hands worked when drawing his pistols. Colton's oldest brother, Cole, became a U. S. Marshal and his second oldest turned out to be a famous Texas Ranger. Colton began his lawman's career as a deputy in the town of Laredo while working for his Pa, Casper. One day the Governor of Texas decided there was an urgent need for Texas to have several newly created positions as County Sheriffs to help the already stretched too thin U.S. Marshals. This is the story of Colton accepting the new post and became the first County Sheriff of Webb County, Texas.

Cole Garrett

Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Cole Garrett was the eldest of four brothers, all lawmen in the State of Texas during the days of the Old West. Having the job of a United States Federal Marshal meant he could travel to anywhere within the borders of the U.S. to apprehend those that caused harm to innocent, law abiding citizens or their businesses. A U.S. Marshal usually traveled alone while performing his duties and it was the most dangerous job of any man who swore to uphold the law by wearing a badge. During the 1870's the west was still a lawless place for the most part and tracking down desperados often called for a man that had toughness, intelligence, an expert tracker, and the most important trait was he needed to be an excellent shot with a rifle and lightening fast on the draw with his sidearm. Cole had those qualities in abundance. In a typical year a U.S. Marshal was tasked with apprehending the likes of bank and railroad robbers, stagecoach bandits, cattle rustlers, murderers and rapist and many a bad man charged with a variety of crimes and were listed on wanted posters while also dealing with renegade Comanche, Kiowa, and Apache Indians. Cole stayed at the top of his profession and was well known and respected by all men of law throughout Texas and New Mexico. The last thing any man on the wrong side of the law wanted to find out was that Marshal Garrett was after him or his gang because Cole always got his man.
