Legend of Stuart Brannon

The hard winter at Broken Arrow Crossing couldn't have come at a worse time for Stuart Brannon. Having left his Arizona ranch sick with grief after losing his family and cattle, Brannon is caught in the teeth of the blizzard.

After months of digging, Stuart Brannon and Edwin Fletcher finally hit the mother lode, only to find someone else is after their claim. Under attack they ally themselves with three Ute Indians and fortify the mine.

Stuart Brannon's friend Peter Mulroney has been wrongfully jailed by Dixon Rutherford, the corrupt Mayor of Paradise Meadow. Rutherford killed Mulroney's wife for standing up to him, and continues tyrannizing the entire town.

Stuart Brannon heads home to his Arizona Ranch, but he finds it occupied by interlopers from the Casa Verde Land Corporation claiming to hold a Spanish land grant on the property.

Stuart Brannon heads south of the border to buy cattle for his ranch, but finds the cattle rustled and the owner murdered. Stuart discovers a former Confederate Officer has stolen the herd to finance his own private army.

Stuart Brannon's fortieth Birthday party turns into a real surprise with the arrival of an unexpected guest--a twelve year-old son he never knew he had!

It took a personal request from President Teddy Roosevelt to put Stuart Brannon back in action. In 1905, at 58 years old, legendary lawman Stuart Brannon – now a rancher and widower – had no intention of leaving his beloved Arizona Territory to attend the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland, Oregon, nor to participate in the celebrity golf tournament for the Willamette Orphan Farm. Even an emotional appeal for a longtime friend didn't persuade him. His life no longer consisted of bloodthirsty men to track down… people trying to kill him… lawless gangs preying on the innocent. Then the telegram came: Stuart, I need you in Portland. Tim Wiseman is missing. I think there's a cover-up going on. Tell folks you're going to the Exposition. Nose around. Find out how a U.S. Marshal can disappear and no one knows why. I'll contact you there. T.R. No way could Stuart Brannon refuse a personal request from the President of the United States. Filled with humor and heart, adventure and romance, "Stuart Brannon's Last Shot" is the story of a man who embodied the Code of the West.
