W.D. "Bill" Fossett, Pioneer and Peace Officer by Jim Fulbright

William Fossett was a legendary lawman among his peers, but because he sought no legacy for himself, his story has remained untold, until now.       W. D. “Bill” Fossett, Pioneer and Peace Officer is the story of a man who carved out careers as a cowboy, cattleman and lawman in early Kansas and Indian Territory. After serving as a city marshal in Caldwell and Kingman, Kansas, he was the first to stake a claim in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, during the 1889 land run. Fossett went on to become a Rock Island Railroad detective and, ultimately, Chief Deputy and U.S. Marshal in Oklahoma Territory. Under his leadership, or by his direct hand, outlaws like “Zip” Wyatt, “Little” Dick West, Nate Sylva, Felix Young, Bert Casey and the notorious Martins were brought to justice.                                NOW AVAILABLE        This carefully documented book is a must for serious Western historians.         High quality paperback, 316 pages including maps, illustrations, endnotes, bibliography and index. ISBN 0-9664039-5-9
