""Let No Guilty Man Escape," the first new Parker biography in four decades, corrects this simplistic image by presenting Parker's unique brand of frontier justice within the legal and political context of his time. Using primary documents from the National Archives, Missouri court records, and other sources not included by previous biographers, Roger H. Tuller demonstrates that Parker was an ambitious attorney who used the law to advance his own career. Parker rose from a frontier Missouri lawyer to become a congressional representative, and when Reconstructionist-era politics denied him continued progress, he sought the judicial appointment for which he is most remembered."--BOOK JACKET.
No history of the West is complete without the story of Fort Smith, the fort that “refused to die.” Established in 1817, Fort Smith was repeatedly abandoned and reoccupied during the following fifty years, eventually becoming the mother post of the Southwest. The original fort was installed on the Arkansas River by Major William Bradford and a company of the Rifles Regiment. Bradford's mission was to stop a bloody war between the Osages and the Cherokees, a conflict discouraging the emigration of eastern Indians to the lands west of the Mississippi and thereby interfering with the government's removal policy. During the Civil War, Confederate armies at Wilson's Creek, Pea Ridge, and Prairie Grove were supplied from Fort Smith, and the Rebel force that crushed Opothleyoholo's band marched from Fort Smith. The fort was taken by Federal troops in September 1863 and served as a Union base for the remainder of the Civil War. In 1871 the army again abandoned the fort, but the Federal Court for the Western District of Arkansas soon moved in. Under Judge Isaac Parker, the renowned “Hanging Judge of Fort Smith,” the court became a force for law and order in much of Indian Territory.

Action-packed western adventure from the author of Crow Creek Crossing. THE WRONGED SIDE OF THE LAW Jordan Gray was hot on the trail of some killers when his wife and child needed him most. The very hardcases he was after rode right up to his home and murdered all those he held dear. Now, Jordan will ride the vengeance trail until he hunts down his family’s killers—even if it means becoming a vigilante. But seeking justice is one thing—finding it is another. After the gang that murdered Jordan’s family robs a bank in Fort Smith, lawmen under the jurisdiction of “Hanging Judge” Parker set out to catch them swiftly and ruthlessly, but in a rush to judgment, the townsfolk mistake Jordan for one of the desperadoes. Caught in the middle, Jordan learns that he doesn’t have to take the law into his own hands to wind up a wanted man.
