Down to their last dime, Bo Creel and Scratch Morton accept the best job they can get in a boomtown called Mankiller where their boss is a drunken sheriff and where they have a real chance to become heroes. Original.

Famed for The Last Gunfighter and Mountain Man sagas, master storyteller William W. Johnston joins forces with J.A. Johnstone to let loose a pair of the most unforgettable, trouble-prone, hard-fighting cowboys the West has ever known--who are about to step in the biggest hornet's nest in Colorado Territory. . . A Good Name--For A Very Bad Town Bo Creel and Scratch Morton have a lot of experience with the law: they've been breaking it most of their lives. But now the drifters are down to their last dime, and they accept the best job they can get in a boomtown called Mankiller. Their boss is a drunken sheriff named Biscuits O'Brien. Their tin stars are mighty pretty. And they start to take their new job seriously--until they're standing between a cunning clan of killers and the town's cowering citizens--with the killers outnumbering the cowerers. The only hope for a besieged town, Bo and Scratch now have a chance to become real heroes--that is, if they don't get their heads blown off the minute they stick their snoots out of the door.

In this fascinating beginning reader biography, popular author Linda Lowery tells how Wilma Mankiller found strength in her Cherokee heritage and how she became Chief Mankiller, leader of the Cherokee Nation from 1985 to 1995. Illustrations by Janice Lee Porter (Allen Jay and the Underground Railroad, C. 1993) help bring this moving story to life.

Michael Wallis's straightforward text and Craig Varjabedian's unadorned photos capture the deep piety of the Penitente Brotherhood and their complex relationship with their history and the modern world.
