The Hero Of Terroy

This book marks the return of the epic Western; this tale of the remarkable Arthfael Evans; the Welsh-born boy miner; the New York Gang Member; the gunfighter, the protection officer and finally, and most famously, the U.S. Marshal and the man who almost single-handedly saved the town of Terroy during the summer of 1860 before Kansas even became a member of the Union States. At his time during all these lives standing with him from the age of eleven was Isobel Jones, the fiercely loyal Methodist girl who first ran away with him from Wales. Almost as deadly as Evans with rifle and pistol and knife, Isobel Jones remained with Evans throughout his career and throughout the Genmon Wars, when a rich rancher threatened a whole town because his wife had deserted him. She stood with Evans as he defended the town and attempted to build the new residents into some kind of defensive force against the Cowboys and ranch-hands sent to kill them. This is a wonderfully researched book about the life of both Arthfael Evans and Isobel Jones and the people they met on their travels, the lovers they took, the friends they made and the fights they fought. The most heavily researched book yet compiled by the remarkable author S.D. Gripton.
