Most tales of the old west, the old TV shows like Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Laramie, Have Gun Will Travel, The Rifleman an others, and many of the western movies most often depicted the period between 1880 to 1900. We are familiar with stagecoaches, steam locomotives, the telegraph, the general store and the town marshal, but the early west, before the Civil War was a much different place.Imagine a time before the stagecoach and railroad were able to deliver goods from the big cities back east. There was no general store to get even the most rudimentary supplies. There was no newspaper to inform folks of events around the country and the world. It was called the wild west for a reason, because there was no law enforcement, either. There was no marshal, no sheriff or court of law, but there were plenty of men with guns. Every man carried a gun out of necessity, for protection and defense against others, the equalizer of all men out west.Hilariously funny and historically accurate, this is the humorous and fascinating tale of how the fictitious town of Heater, Texas came to be and how it developed in those wild times, through the eyes of those that lived and died there. Imagine a time when the six shooter was the only law and getting drunk and gambling was about the only thing to do for a young man's entertainment. Imagine a saloon full of gun-toting, trigger happy cowboys, drinking and gambling, and imagine how that plays out.The tale of Heater, Texas promises to entertain and enlighten, leaving the reader with a greater understanding and appreciation of life in the early west.
