Description

Under a Digger's Moon is a dramatic, gritty, often violent, and realistic look at life and death in the Indian Territory. Set in Fort Smith, Arkansas in 1876, the Ninth-District Federal Court Judge Isaac C. Parker and his two hundred United States Deputy Marshals struggled to bring justice to the chaos in the Western Frontier. Under a Digger's Moon recalls a struggle for survival in a place often called, Hell on the Border. Life was cheap and living was hard. In the Territory, men and women encountered Men of Blood and the tragic events that came from the situations in life. Violence convulsed into everyday life. Men lived rough; they talked rough, and they died rough. Under a Digger's Moon is the story of brutality, born of lawlessness, and Parker's hard-fought brand of justice. The story is a captivating tale of precarious friendships and redemptive love. United States Marshals, William “Will” Tyler, Robert “Bob” Johnson, and Peter Andrew “Two Snakes”—the three young stars in destiny's Western Firmament—harbored and learned from youth, the early lessons of brutality and reality. Dr. Katherine O'Reilly, the first woman surgeon in the Territory, becomes the lynch-pin for the dramatic search for redemption. A common “education in sorrows” was to become a guide for them all on the Hard Ride to Redemption.Painstakingly researched for historical accuracy and powerfully written in the tradition of old-fashioned campfire storytelling, Under a Digger's Moon will sweep you into the adventures of unforgettable characters, page after page. And, when you've finished the last page, this story will stay with you from first-light to twilight, through the light of a digger's moon, until you pick it back up and fall once again under its spell. Under a Digger's Moon is a stand-alone novel, though it is the first in a trilogy about the Tyler-Johnson Saga: Hard Ride to Redemption. Red River Promise and Montana Wind will continue the hard-fought adventures of William Tyler and Robert Johnson and their families as they battle Men of Blood.
