This is the story of Big Jim Bowdry, an ex-City Marshal of Hays, Kansas.
He had gained a reputation with his fists, as well as the lightning speed of his .45 caliber pistol, if, and when it was necessary. He took no guff from anybody. Although he was a good-natured man, he saw things logically, and looked only at the facts, and the evidence. He had always said, I'm not the judge, or jury. I just carry out the letter of the law for the state of Kansas. When he went after a man, he was like a dog on a bone. He wouldn't let go until he brought that man, or men in to jail for trial.
Now, he's aged some, and he and Esther are married. They moved around a few times, trying to outrun his reputation with a gun, bu, his reputation always caught up with him.
Leaving Atchison, Kansas, they moved to an out of the way small town of Cottonwood, bought a small farm, and tried to live a normal life. They bought a few head of cattle. Even seeds to grow wheat to subsidize the income from the cattle. He bought himself a bull to sire calves in hopes of growing a large herd, but with his reputation, it has caused a small rift between him and Esther. The heat that hit Kansas didn't help matters any. He lost a few cows, and the thought of selling the bull, bothered him greatly.
Then, the shooting in Cottonwood jeopardized his life with Esther, again.
