West of the Dead Line, the Complete Series

The Dead Line, as it came to be called, was a railroad cutting across the middle of Indian Territory. It ran straight north to south through Cheyenne and Comanche and Kiowa lands, crossing the Red River into Bowie, Texas. It was a line on a map, a demarcation. West of it there was no law, only outlaws. In the American West, no place comes close to matching the dangers and mortality lawmen faced crossing this line to do their jobs. Those who survived became titans in the legends of the West, particularly one man called Bass Reeves. These stories are fiction, but the encounters this U.S. Deputy Marshal faced, and The Dead Line, were not.
