The Arizonan

"What'll we do with this huckleberry?" asks the Cowboy whose Winchester presses again Byron's belt buckle. "We take 'em to the boss. He'll figure out what to do with him," answers the Segundo. The Bierman brothers deal with characters the likes of which only the West breeds and nurturers: the Earp brothers, Texas John Slaughter, Governor F.A. Tritle, Ike Clanton, Curly Bill Brocius, Al Sieber, and La Ara a. "If there are those who can't defend themselves and wind up vulnerable, then Arizona Territory ain't the place for them to stay," says Byron. "It is what it is." Arizona Territory, 1880s, is enough to challenge anyone, but little do Byron and Braxton Bierman know that every turn on the trail brings them to defining moments. From Tombstone to Prescott, and Springerville to Phoenix, they face friends, foes, and nature. Braxton's last line in the story is, "Brother, have I got a lot to tell you." Reader, The Arizonan has a lot to tell you too.
