The Sheriff of Rockabye County

Jack Tragg, sheriff of Rockabye County, Texas, was a powerful, sun-bronzed six foot one. Although he owned traditional cowhand style outfits, he usually wore a business suit or khaki uniform. His gunbelt was a modern combat-shooter's rig, with a single Smith & Wesson .41 Magnum. Jack had a stable of fine horses at his disposal, but most of the time he travelled by car, airplane or helicopter.Like his Old West predecessors, Jack's duty was to keep the peace and maintain law and order in his bailiwick. Tough-fast with a gun-Jack was the jet-aged lawman! J.T. Edson brings to life the fierce and often bloody struggles of untamed West. His colorful characters are linked together by the binding power of the spirit of adventure -- and hard work -- that eventually won the West. With more than 25 million copies of his novels in print, J.T. Edson has proven to be one of the finest craftsmen of Western storytelling in our time. Rockabye County is J.T. Edson's version of a modern-day Western.
