About this ebook

Hawk knew all about death and trouble, and thats why he was a loner. He had a quick smile, a fast gun and a horse that had sense enough to turn its rear to the wind in a storm. He was a smart horse and that was more that he could say for some humans he had met lately. They all seemed to have one thought on their minds and that was attending his funeral and if a popularity poll was taken, it looks like he would have to hire pallbearers.


In 1863, Bloody Bill Anderson and his outlaws stopped a westbound train just outside Centralia, Missouri. They stole the strongbox, which contained three thousand dollars, and executed twenty-five Union Soldiers.


Hawk remembered his two brothers who were killed that day. As a small boy he tried in vain to comfort his mother who died a few months later of a broken heart. It was that day in the churchyard that he swore on his mothers grave that he would get revenge.


Now his time had come and the trail of these killers had lead him to Frank James and Bob Ford and a question he may not live long enough to answer. Why was it that everyone who knew about the agreement between the Ford Brothers and the James Brothers, committed suicide, died mysteriously, or was murdered?


Hawk knew he would have to find the answer to that question or die trying.

Will Price

Will Price was born and raised in and around the farmlands of Central Indiana. He attended Labratory, Rankin, and Garfield High School. Before graduation, Will said that school was interfering with his education, so he quit and joined the Air Force. As a proud member of Security Service, Will traveled around the world. He served in Europe and the Far East for eight years then returned to civilian life. While in the USAF, Will received his GED Diploma and after leaving the service, attended Indiana State University for five years, majoring in Archeology and a minor in English. After the Air Force, Will worked on the railroad as a locomotive engineer for twenty-five years. Some of the men he worked with appear under different names in his book. Will loved to travel and he loved the Western reaches of our great land the most. Since as far back as he could remember, he listened to stories of the western gunfights, the Indians, and the baked land that absorbed the lives and stories of the people, like it sucked up the infrequent rains that touched its face. Once when he was just a youth of thirteen, he met a man in Arizona who rode with the Younger Gang. He was a very old man known as Outlaw Bob. Bob told of the old days. The hard riding, hiding, hunger and other hardships that the outlaws of those days had to endure. He always finished his stories by saying "Boys, ya had to be in it for the excitement, cause there sure wasn’t any money." Will’s Great Grandmother told him a story of Jesse James and part of that story is told here.
