    About this series

    IT TOOK A PERSONAL REQUEST FROM PRESIDENT TEDDY ROOSEVELT TO PUT STUART BRANNON BACK IN ACTION.

    In 1905, at 58 years old, legendary lawman Stuart Brannon – now a rancher and widower – had no intention of leaving his beloved Arizona Territory to attend the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland, Oregon, nor to participate in the celebrity golf tournament for the Willamette Orphan Farm. Even an emotional appeal for a longtime friend didn’t persuade him. His life no longer consisted of bloodthirsty men to track down… people trying to kill him… lawless gangs preying on the innocent.

    Then the telegram came: Stuart, I need you in Portland. Tim Wiseman is missing. I think there’s a cover-up going on. Tell folks you’re going to the Exposition. Nose around. Find out how a U.S. Marshal can disappear and no one knows why. I’ll contact you there. T.R. No way could Stuart Brannon refuse a personal request from the President of the United States.

    Filled with humor and heart, adventure and romance, “Stuart Brannon’s Last Shot” is the story of a man who embodied the Code of the West.

      The hard winter at Broken Arrow Crossing couldn't have come at a worse time for Stuart Brannon. Having left his Arizona ranch sick with grief after losing his family and cattle, Brannon is caught in the teeth of the blizzard. He stumbles half-frozen into an isolated stage station where he finds a wounded prospector. While staying on and nursing the stranger back to health, Stuart welcomes other winter travelers in need of help. He is soon drawn into their desperate plights. Then he must plunge into a dangerous mission to rescue a boy from nearby hostile Indians, only to become the target of an outlaw band. It's a hard winter that seems long in passing, with little hope of escape.

      After months of digging, Stuart Brannon and Edwin Fletcher finally hit the mother lode, only to find someone else is after their claim. Under attack they ally themselves with three Ute Indians and fortify the mine.

Soon Brannon and his partners are fighting both a professional gunman and the powerful Colorado Southern Mining Corporation. In the midst of the fight Stuart must confront the threat to his claim and, much to his surprise, his own greed.

      Stuart Brannon's friend Peter Mulroney has been wrongfully jailed by Dixon Rutherford, the corrupt Mayor of Paradise Meadow. Rutherford killed Mulroney's wife for standing up to him, and continues tyrannizing the entire town. Brannon comes to break his friend out, but finds himself drawn into the town's struggle by schoolteacher Rose Creek. With Rose's courage and Stuart's leadership the townspeople are ready for a showdown at the Gold Palace. Facing down Rutherford is only the first step, taming the town's violent nature and avoiding mob rule is another. Meanwhile, Brannon is personally challenged by Rose saying "You just play a little game and call it faith." He may have tamed a town, but can Stuart Brannon tame his own conscience?

      Stuart Brannon heads home to his Arizona Ranch, but he finds it occupied by interlopers from the Casa Verde Land Corporation claiming to hold a Spanish land grant on the property. Enraged, Brannon drives them off. Stuart is soon joined by several friends and neighbors in defending his home. Including a contingent of soldiers tracking down a band of Apaches, and Miss Harriet Reed who makes her attraction to the ex-lawman obvious. They are soon under siege by Casa Verde's fifty hired gunmen and a cannon sent to take back the property. Brannon fights for the only things left worth holding onto, his ranch, and the burial place of his wife and son. For Brannon, right and wrong seem perfectly clear, but at a terrible price, putting innocent lives on the line for the sake of honor.

      Donald Trump, the Poster Boy for White Privilege

      Oct 22, 2017

      Perhaps you remember Barack Obama's so-called "patriotism problem." It was that some people said he didn't have any. The claim was based on the flimsiest of evidence: his failure to wear an American flag pin on his lapel and a picture, widely circulated online, that purported to show him with hands clasped instead of over his heart, refusing to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Of course, most men don't wear flag pins. And the picture was taken during the singing of the national anthem, not the recitation of the Pledge. But the feebleness of the evidence did not stop a whisper campaign about th
