characters of the Texas frontier that defy one-dimensional stereotypes. ---Roy G. Robinson, Publisher, Graham Newspapers

"The action never stops in Mike Kearby's The Road to a Hanging. As Free Anderson, an ex-slave and former Union army sergeant, goes west, he is chased by a diehard enemy from Civil War days. Free and Parks Scott, his former lieutenant and now a mustanger, fight their seperate and joined ways out of scrape after scrape. They come to life as do the historical characters they encounter-authentic western heroes like Wild Bill Hickok, Charlie Goodnight and his ex-slave sidekick, Bose Ikard, and the egomaniac George Armstrong Custer. First rate action and excellent characterization." --James Ward Lee- author of Adventures witha Texas Humanist
