 The Town that Wouldn't Die

(The Crocketts #4)

by

Robert Vaughan

Will Crockett never expected to win a saloon in Sulphur Springs on the turn of a poker card. He tried to hand it back, but the previous owner wouldn’t take it. Only when Will rode into town did he learn the reason.

Sulphur Springs was under the iron grip of Sheriff Sidney Greenwall and his hand‑picked deputies. They bled every storekeeper and business owner for half their earnings, calling it a tax. And if anyone refused, Greenwall—who also served as judge—made sure the trial was quick and the hanging even quicker.

With the arrival of Will and his brother Gid, the townsfolk finally saw a glimmer of hope. Maybe the Crockett brothers were the answer to their prayers. When Will was shot down, that hope flickered, but the Crocketts were tough men, and it would take more than hot lead to stop them from breaking Greenwall’s hold on the town.

I really enjoyed this story by Robert Vaughan. Most of his westerns I’ve read over the years have been top‑notch—tight writing, strong characters, and the kind of action western readers devour. I’ve read a couple books from this series, and it’s easy to see why it’s one of his most popular. Definitely add it to your to‑be‑read list. It’s just a shame Robert isn’t around anymore to keep these fantastic stories coming. 5/5
