McKenzie
Description:... When Martin McKenzie is killed in July of 1876, leaving seventeen-year-old Jeff McKenzie without a family, Jeff decides to become a Texas Ranger, just like his father had been. But he has no idea how this will change his life.
While Jeff travels, the reader will find old-fashioned gunfights; the history of mining in Colorado; outdoor adventure as Jeff McKenzie travels to west Texas, Arizona, and Colorado as a Texas Ranger and United States Marshal; crime; suspense; romance; and surprise. Jeff McKenzie will meet many fictional characters like Sid Johnson, who will add humor to this book, and a romantic interest, Jeff's wife Carmen. While Jeff is traveling, he will also meet people like Bob Ford, Calamity Jane, Soapy Smith, Nicholas Creede, and Bat Masterson, and he will ride into Mexico after outlaws with Tom Horn.
President Grover Cleveland gives Texas Ranger Jeff McKenzie a special commission as United States Marshal in March of 1886. Marshal McKenzie is given the job of catching and bringing in the Booth Carlisle gang, which is wanted for kidnapping and slave running.
Marshal McKenzie joins forces with Tom Horn on the banks of the Rio Grande and they trail Carlisle across the Chihuahua desert with the help of a half-breed named Pete. McKenzie and Tom Horn meet Booth Carlisle and his gang in a deadly gunfight in the streets of Aquiles Serdán.
