The Wild West was a dirty, dangerous and full of misadventures. Often the law was too far to help or here just was not any, men and women have no choice but to dig deep and get it done themselves. The author has provided 10 stories on how men and women upheld the code of in times of great danger. The code in most cases was acted upon fast and harsh, as cattle rustlers and bad men found out. Keith has also included a bonus story on the-fighting uphill battle at writing on stone, a huge native battle few people know about. In many ways the code lives today, and now we need it most.
