The dramatic stories of the men whose guns brought law to the Old West . . . "A sizeable round-up of biographical sketches of famous sheriffs, United States marshals and town marshals who made their marks in western history comes from an enthusiastic student who has covered his subject with a good sense of the drama involved. Included among the 21 entries are the ones who need no introduction-Wyatt Earp, Hickok, Pat Garret who slew Billy the Kid-as well as lesser knowns like Tom Smith who went in to tame Abilene where all others had failed and the notorious Henry Plummer who roused Nevadans to oust him from an office he used for personal gain. Good introductions orient readers as to Western history and life and the duties of the men who had to keep the peace." (Kirkus Reviews)

Ray Holland was born in Atchison, Kansas, in 1884, growing up to become a well-respected outdoorsman and writer, a U.S. Game Warden, and an editor for Field & Stream. (He was also a key figure in the Supreme Court case that upheld the constitutionality of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.) In "Now Listen, Warden," he collected humorous stories from his own experiences during the early years of organized game laws, as well as from other state and federal game wardens, as they dealt with poachers and other criminous folk. Holland's tales are a fun read for those who hunt, fish, or just enjoy the outdoors.

Two cases are presented from the files of the Michael Joyce Agency, a New York detective firm, both published in the early 1930s.In Poison Case Number 10, the agency is approached by an elderly man who believes that his wealthy family is being systematically targeted by a murderer. Michael Joyce and his team (son Tom, operative 'Sheriff' Symes, and assistant Kay Carey) launch an undercover operation that uncovers a serial poisoner. In Murder Case Number 33, Joyce is asked to help an Osage tribe in Oklahoma, rich from oil leases, but being murdered one-by-one. Is it an outside party? Or is it a member of the tribe seeking to gain from the government-operated royalty scheme?1931 review: "Generally speaking inspectors are not delightful persons, but Michael Joyce is. The bulwark of Poison Case Number 10 is humor-keen, discriminating humor to lighten the tragedy at hand. The Van Zantern family is threatened with extermination, and the criminal is doing a pretty good job when investigations are begun. How Joyce solves the mystery is not only original, but fascinating."1932 review: "Those who remember Poison Case No. 10 will find another thriller in Murder Case Number 33 by Louis Cornell, who writes the first American Indian mystery novel and lends spice to his plot by putting investigator Michael Joyce and his wide-awake secretary on the job. The Osage tribe, made rich by oil, is being slowly but surely wiped out. One of its members, a Rhodes scholar, asks Joyce to investigate the murders. From New York City, after an attempt to slay the tribal leader, the party is taken to Oklahoma, where there is plenty of local color and action. This is a mystery that is hard to equal, let alone surpass. A top-notcher." Little is known about author Louis Cornell, but he was an actual detective in George S. Dougherty's New York agency, and his character Michael Joyce is clearly patterned after Dougherty.
