O knihe

Like his father, Lance Kincaid became a Texas Ranger. Unlike most Rangers, Lance befriended the Lipan Apaches and showed concern for their poor treatment by the U. S. Government. The Tribe respected Lance and made him a blood brother. He left the Rangers and joined the Union Army to fight in the Civil War, where he suffered a serious wound that caused him physical injuries and the loss of his memory.
His only ties to his past were letters he was said to have received postmarked Bell County, Texas. He headed to Texas hoping to recover his memory. Upon his arrival in Bell County, he discovered his father had died at the hands of the Carpetbaggers. They had also confiscated his ranch. Lance became a U. S. Marshal and set out to find his father's killer, or killers. Over the next several years, he carried out several assignments and faced challenges from criminals, Indians and corrupt members of the Government. E-Town Showdown is the story of one of those assignments.
As a U.S. Marshal, Lance Kincaid, and his deputy Hefty, arrived at Elizabethtown, New Mexico, finding themselves in the middle of the Colfax County War, being threatened by both sides and not knowing which side was in the right. They were tasked to find the fate of a missing Federal Surveyor, that was sent to E-Town by the Department of Interior to verify the boundaries of the, much disputed, 1.7 million-acre Maxwell Land Grant. During his investigation, he experienced challenges from the Apaches, The Santa Fe Ring, and the settlers living on the Grant. After surviving several attempts on his life, he finally reached the surprising answer concerning the fate of the missing Surveyor.
