How Roy Rogers never killed anybody and simply shotthe gun out of the villain's hands.Good was good, bad was bad, and when something wasin between, good always won out in the end.Gunsmoke was one of the best about that, and I still watch itto this day. Man I sure miss those days. As I recall, it was in the latesixties when western movies started to change, not more violentnecessarily, for violence was always a part of the old west both inreality and in stories especially in the 1880's. However, the storiesbecame more complicated, at least for me. Moreover, boundariesbetween good and evil became blurry. The good was just the "best ofthe bad" it seemed. Foul language and explicit scenes of sex andgraphic violence were the feature. They called it REVISIONIST.For the most part, they lost life's lessons where heroes wereboth strong and kind. They were honorable defenders of thecommon folk, especially the week and the vulnerable. Keeping thesethings in mind, I wrote my story - a story of the real and difficultstruggles of good men.These were men of courage and commitment such asRangers, Sheriffs, and U.S. Marshalls. This story is told withoutuseless profanity and over emphasis on the graphic nature of evildeeds by villains.A story even youngsters can listen to and learn somethingabout the unintended consequences of "acting on" even righteousindignation. There are lessons about the power of friendship andlove. That was my hope. It may sound old fashion, it may sound out of themainstream of modern 'revisionist' tales of the old West, but I inviteyou to read or listen to my story. In this fully produced Audio Book"Wichita U S Marshall".Close your eyes sit back hear the excitement!Hear the heart and soul of a tale for everyone, young and old.Follow the life of Wichita U S Marshall and his struggles external and Internal.Like one of your favorite old movies you'll listen again andagain.view less
