I dedicate this book to Charlie, who helped so much; to Linda, who typed the most; to Lynn, who corrected the most; to my wife, Pat, who listened the most; to Mary Alice, who bossed the most; and my wonderful critique group, who sure helped straighten out the kinks. Thanks also to the great staff and crew at Sharlot Hall Museum in Prescott, Arizona, for all their help in researching the past. Besides their great exhibits and research facilities, the museum hosts a wonderful cowboy gathering each August. Check them out on the Web. And to all my friends and fans, God bless you all.
