It was 1930. Nine year old Bobby and his Mother had returned to Buck Springs Arizona after a tragic accident had killed Bobby's father in Chicago. His grandfather, Ben Starr, former sheriff of Buck Springs in the 1880's gladly took them into his home. When Bobby's school teacher offered extra credit to anyone that wrote a report on Arizona the way it was when the west was still untamed, Grandpa Ben jumped at the chance to tell his grandson of his adventures trying to bring law and order to Buck Springs. His tales of lawlessness, of power grabs, hired gunmen, silver strikes, and old west romance, give Bobby, and the reader, more than enough fodder to fuel their imaginations to re-live the era of 1880's Arizona.
