Texas Rangers in Action #51

When Kenneth Cobb receives word that his outlaw uncle Black Bob has been killed by Texas Ranger Nick Forney, he travels to Three Mile River to claim his inheritance—a prized six-gun, a stallion, and some cash. What Kenneth discovers is that he's inherited far more than possessions: he has his uncle's natural gift with a pistol, a talent that catches the attention of Ranger Forney and his men. Over the following months, Kenneth transforms from a grieving farm boy into someone worthy of wearing the ranger's badge himself.

Ranger Ed Lafferty takes a bullet from the outlaw Pepe Ruiz during a border raid, and when his superiors won't let him pursue across the Rio Grande, Lafferty does what any wronged lawman would—he quits the Rangers to settle the score himself.
