Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

As a U.S. marshal, your job is to keep the law.This interactive series will enthrall young and reluctant readers (Ages 8-12) by making them part of the story, inviting them to become the main character. Each book uses humorous illustrations to depict the sometimes dark and horrific side of life during important eras in history. The Civil War is over, and settlers are moving west across the Great Plains to farm and hunt. Towns begin to spring up, but they are dangerous places to live: the settlers are violent, and the Plains Indians are angry that their lands have been invaded. This new extended edition includes a map, a timeline, and a selection of exciting facts about frontier life.

Includes index.
