Cowboy Justice: Tale of a Texas Lawman by Jim Gober

Jim Gober had a code of ethics that he adhered to throughout his life. His code made him the man he was, and it cost him dearly. It was an ethic based in loyalty, and it was the central force in his life story. It compelled him to leave home at fifteen. It drove him to cowboying on the ranges of West Texas. It catapulted him into politics as the youngest elected sheriff in the United States. It made him the target of hired assassins.As strong and romantic a character as ever portrayed by Cooper, Wayne, or Eastwood, Gober played out his life with all the drama, suspense, and danger of an Old West you only thought was mythical.
