They came into Big Springs, Texas, from the north ... but they might just as well have come straight out of the past. They were thirty men clad in buckskins, toting flintlocks and muzzle-loaders, and they wanted - and took - everything Big Springs had to offer.
That was their biggest mistake.
Governor Lester Dukes reckoned they were 'The Lost Ones', the last remnants of Quantrill's Raiders, a bunch of Rebel hold-outs who'd refused to surrender after Appomattox. He figured they were holed up in the Texas Breaks, an uncharted wilderness that had a nasty habit of swallowing up anyone who tried to explore it.
They could have stayed there, for all Dukes cared. But the minute they started robbing and killing innocent Texans, he made a decision to send Yancey Bannerman and Johnny Cato in to deal with the problem.
Two Enforcers, against a small but ruthless army.
Keith Hetherington
aka Kirk Hamilton, Brett Waring and Hank J. Kirby
Australian writer Keith has worked as television scriptwriter on such Australian TV shows as Homicide, Matlock Police, Division 4, Solo One, The Box, The Spoiler and Chopper Squad.
"I always liked writing little vignettes, trying to describe the action sequences I saw in a film or the Saturday Afternoon Serial at local cinemas," remembers Keith Hetherington, better-known to Piccadilly Publishing readers as Hank J. Kirby, author of the Bronco Madigan series.
Keith went on to pen hundreds of westerns (the figure varies between 600 and 1000) under the names Kirk Hamilton (including the legendary Bannerman the Enforcer series) and Clay Nash as Brett Waring. Keith also worked as a journalist for the Queensland Health Education Council, writing weekly articles for newspapers on health subjects and radio plays dramatizing same.
