Bear Creek — Dan Arnold

When former Texas Ranger, John Everett Sage, steps off a train to stretch his legs he puts his foot into something that will change his life forever. As a witness to a cold blooded murder, John soon lands a job as a deputy town marshal. He encounters his long lost family-the travelers known as Romani. When the marshal is murdered, John is appointed as the new marshal of the town of Bear Creek, Colorado. John needs deputies, so he invites men he can trust, men he knew when he was a Ranger, including the half Comanche, half Cherokee tracker, Yellow Horse. This story, told from the perspective of John Sage, is rich with details of life on the front range of the Rocky Mountains, at the end of the nineteenth century. It is a dramatic and, at times, humorous tale of a man finding his legacy, a man committed to do justice, to love mercy and walk humbly with his God.
