Dr. William Joseph Calhoun Lawrence and the Base, Mean, Low-Down, Trifeling, Lying, Lazy, Hog-Thieving, Indolent, Dogon', Chisel-Fisted, CheatingWhy should a respected frontier physician-one of the few of his trade in Texas- die in a mutually fatal Western-style shootout with his cousin?Frontier Texas- from its War of Independence from Mexico, to the late 1800s- was a strictly agricultural region raising cotton and then livestock, and dotted with small villages . . . not much to draw an ambitious physician.

Although she knew of Federal Judge John Wood's assassination, she assumed it was a fluke. It was related to a drug case. Those people knew no bounds.
