Boundary Stalwart Bill McDonald of Wood County Texas
Bill McDonald, a hard working cattleman turned trader and deputy, builds a fearsome reputation across Hardeman and Wichita Falls counties. He fends off cattle thieves, quells gunmen, and pursues outlaw bands from Quanah to Harrold, earning ranger and U.S. deputy marshal roles while clashing with the Brookens gang and other outlaws.
