The Sheriff of Badger A Tale of the Southwest Borderland by George B. Pattullo

In George B. Pattullo's The Sheriff of Badger A Tale of the Southwest Borderland, readers are taken on an enthralling journey through the unpredictable and treacherous world of the American Southwest. Set in the backdrop of the early 1900s, this book introduces us to the Sheriff of Badger, a man accustomed to facing danger head-on in order to uphold the law in his small frontier town.

Pattullo expertly weaves together a captivating narrative, filled with vivid descriptions and well-developed characters that leave a lasting impact. From the very first page, readers are immersed in a world where lawlessness prevails and the line between good and evil is blurred. The protagonist, the sheriff himself, is presented as a deeply flawed yet relatable character, struggling with inner demons while striving to bring justice to his community.
