In the last years of the tough and woolly land called IndianTerritory, and the first of the new state of Oklahoma, the outlaw Henry Starr
rides roughshod through the midst of it. A native son of “The Nations” he’s
more Scotch-Irish than Cherokee, but is scorned by both. He never really wanted
to journey west of the law, yet fate seems to insist. He’s falsely accused and
arrested for horse-thieving at age sixteen, then sentenced to hang at nineteen
by Judge Isaac Parker for the dubious killing of a deputy U.S. marshal, but he
escapes the gallows on a technicality. Given that opportunity, the charming,
handsome, mild-mannered Henry Starr spends the rest of his life becoming the
most prolific bank robber the West has ever known.
“Author Phil Truman
captured a slice of Indian Territory history and has woven it into an
interesting period novel. Anyone who loves the history of the West will enjoy Red Lands Outlaw: the Ballad of Henry Starr.”
-- Tammy Hinton, author and winner of the Will Rogers Medallion Award for Unbridled
“Red Lands Outlaw: The
Ballad of Henry Starr is a well-conceived yarn about one of the last of
Oklahoma’s horseback-riding outlaws. A good read.” -- Dusty Richards, a Spur
and Wrangler Award winning author
