Publisher's Synopsis
A man for breakfast was the mornings oath and by dinner was often satisfied. Custer, Hickok and Cody were merely peers to the forgotten company of desperadoes and heroes that populated this frontier town that became a legend while just a baby on the banks of the Smoky. The history of Ellsworth, Kansas, is not a typical history. Desperate Seed will take the reader to a Wild West only imagined but very real to those who lived it. As Rod Beemer author of The Deadliest Woman in the West puts it, this book is truly the rest of the story about the Old Wests railheads, outlaws, lawmen, and tough towns.
