The O'Malleys of Texas by Dusty Richards

The O'Malleys of Texas by Dusty Richards

Western Heritage- and Western Writers of America Spur Award-winning author Dusty Richards unleashes the epic beginning to the O'Malley family saga, a new western classic set in the lawless sprawl of an unforgettable Texas . . .

As Civil War bloodies the nation's ground, Texas Rangers Harp and Long John O'Malley patrol a vast, unguarded range, picking off the brutal Comanche while protecting the families of soldiers off fighting at the front.

Bullet by bullet the O'Malleys distinguish themselves as two of the bravest gunfighters to ever wear the Ranger's star. At war's end, the Rangers are disbanded, but Harp and Long John are not through fighting yet. They sign on with a cattle drive that will take them across the most treacherous and deadly stretch of the American frontier: the long trail from Texas to Sedalia. Beset by ruthless enemies inside and outside the camp, Harp and Long John aim dead straight for the future--where a great ranching fortune awaits back in a Texas they will change forever.

Richards, Dusty: - Dusty Richards grew up riding horses and watching his western heroes on the big screen. He even wrote book reports for his classmates, making up westerns since English teachers didn't read that kind of book. His mother, though, didn't want him to be a cowboy, so he went to college, then worked for Tyson Foods and auctioned cattle when he wasn't an anchor on television. His lifelong dream, though, was to write the novels he loved. He sat on the stoop of Zane Grey's cabin and promised he'd one day get published, as well. In 1992, that promise became a reality when his first book, Noble's Way, hit the shelves. In the years since, he's published over 160 more, winning nearly every major award for western literature along the way. His 150th novel, The Mustanger and the Lady, was adapted for the silver screen and released as the motion picture Painted Woman in 2017. In a review for the movie, True West magazine proclaimed Dusty the greatest living western fiction writer alive. Sadly, Dusty passed away in early 2018, leaving behind a legion of fans and a legacy of great western writing that will live on for generations.
