Hawk Haynes ruled from his heart, but stayed alive by using his instincts. Hawk was on his way to start a new life in Texas when he runs into burned out wagons. He finds families slaughtered, the men killed, the women raped, and killed. Hawk Haynes had just introduced himself to Southwest Texas. Hawk had been deeded land just northwest of Rawlins for his services in taking care of Ted Rawlins and his wife until their death. According to Ted, the property he deeded to Hawk was prime land. According to what Hawk saw while traveling, it was anything but prime. It didn't look like it could grow grass, but it could grow outlaws, gunfighters and murderers. That made it easy for a man like Sid Rawlins hire all the ruthless men he needed to him solve his problems. Hawk and Rawlins will lock horns and A BRAVER MAN will be crowned.
Actually the RW Kimes book i read was the new one....Pap Dockin. And it is a wonderful read. A vision of the past that a lot of us do not think about anymore. The time of cowboys, the Wild West, and the Law.
The book is a very good read for revisiting another time in History. It is also full of wisdom and delight! The book has become a part of me. Thank you Mr. Kimes!!
