Book excerpt: The 70,000 square miles of the Oklahoma Indian Territory, The Nations, as it was called, was a land of vicious and evil deeds by cruel and heartless outlaws as well as renegade Indians. Mace Truax was the U.S. Marshal for Judge Isaac Parker's court for the U.S. Western District of Arkansas in Ft. Smith. The Judge was allotted 200 Deputy Marshals, but less than half that number was on the job when Parker took the bench. Together the Marshal and the Judge had to bring justice and peace to this land - using the gavel and the gun. Mace had to find hard but honest men to take on the badge, and the Judge had to try cases of horse theft, robbery, fraud, rape, and murder. It was an ongoing tale of the fight for law and order in the American West.

Book excerpt: The most lawless land in the American West was the 70,000 square miles of frontier Western Arkansas and the Indian Territory of the Five Civilized Tribes; what later would become Oklahoma. Rape, robbery, murder, horse theft, gun and whiskey running were the everyday crimes that often went unpunished. It took both the gavel and the gun --- and hangman¿s knot to tame this land. The Territory was a magnet to outlaws and spoilers of every brand. Law, order, and justice didn¿t come until almost ten years after the Civil War. Law and order finally came in the form of ¿the Hanging Judge,¿ Isaac Parker, a new U.S. Marshal, Mace Truax, and a Choctaw Indian Territorial Policeman named John Browneagle.

Download or read book Massacre At Going Snake written by Jack R. Stanley and published by Wrightbridge Press. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oklahoma Indian Territory, known as The Nations, was a place of four laws - the unwritten laws of nature, the moral laws of man, the laws of the Indian tribes settled there, and the US federal law. The last was administered through the "hanging judge's" court in Ft. Smith. The Five Civilized Tribes had their own courts, Indian Police, and judges within their allotted districts. To cover the whole 70,000 squares, Judge Isaac Parker had US Marshal Mace Truax and his band of Deputy Marshals. They confronted the renegades of all tribes, the whites, the blacks, the Mexicans - the outlaws, rapists, murderers, whiskey runners, and spoilers of any stripe. Some offenses straddled both tribal law and US law. Such a case led to the Massacre at Going Snake.

Download or read book From Stethoscope to Gavel written by Harry Rein and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Harry Rein has lived an extraordinary life. He has been a refugee, soldier, husband, father, doctor, lawyer, and judge, and to the best of his knowledge, the only doctor-lawyer-judge in the United States. His path begins when he boards the last train out of Austria after Hitler's annexation, followed by remaining one step ahead of destruction for the next year. Then comes a denial of entry into the United States due to quotas and poverty, followed by eventual admission three years later. "Angels" then enter his life and those of his family, allowing them to become meaningful citizens in the United States. These episodes from his inspiring journey discuss the ambition, attitude, kindnesses, rewards, and punishment he experiences with the many people he encounters along the way who lift him to higher levels of practice within each of his three professions. From Stethoscope to Gavel is the true story of an ordinary man from a humble background whose optimism and generosity in the face of crushing hardships will challenge, encourage, and motivate generations to come.

Download or read book Arm of the Bandit written by Johnny D. Boggs and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-11-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a Spur Award–winning author of the Five Star Western Series comes a thrilling tale of James clan. Outlaws Frank and Jesse James eluded capture for 16 years and became folk heroes. In 1882, after Jesse was killed by Bob, Frank surrendered and faced trial for murder. How could Missouri convict a man so popular that the governor almost needed an appointment to visit him in jail? William Wallace had already imprisoned one member of the untouchable James Gang. Now his case rested on the word of a scoundrel and defied those who would kill to protect Frank James. The defense would paint the Shakespeare-quoting robber as an honorable family man and victim of mistaken identity, endlessly persecuted by the hated railroads. Inside an opera house, the circus like trial would decide if James senselessly murdered a young stonemason during the 1881 Winston train robbery. Perhaps the larger question was if Missouri was ruled by the arm of the law—or the arm of the bandit.
