Call Me Marshal

Take an insider's seat and witness THE REAL TEXAS at the ending of the cowboy era; cars, phones and electricity are new; in real life there are no dime-novel heroes; the enemy comes raiding, the reluctant Marshal; what did he really do?  Is this real-life scoundrel, my Grandfather Ross, really the hero of the old west? Were such men behind the curtain of the unexplainable rise of the old West to modern Texas in a decade?  And what did one woman do that unknowingly changes history? Based on actual happenings, go with Ross Burleson as he outthinks Blackjack Pershing, Poncho Villa, Austin and DC as he weaves and executes behind-the-curtain actions that morphed into modern Texas and the heartbeat of America.

And the untold tales of his deputies; indeed, the last of the old west.

Finally, little known stories of Wyatt Erp, from family lore, newspapers and not in any book. They sure sound true.  Don't all books about Old West Marshalls have some stories about Wyatt Earp?

CALL ME MARSHAL is an adventure that rivets together facts, history and reluctant acts that become heroism that is not just fiction or just the same old material.

As an insider, try to keep up with the pursuits, and how the outlaw didn't always have the worst hand.

Acclaimed storyteller David Pickett pulls back the curtain and breaths live into his black sheep grandfather's selfishness springs to strategy and tactics that pull Pancho Villa's fangs. The story about an unexpected conman who did the unexpected.  Facts are woven into plausible fiction for a compelling, fresh story.

Desperation is checkmate to morals and good sense. Good people get in the crossfire in many ways.
