Ron Lewis
Ron Lewis has had a lifelong interest and love of both history and westerns. Blending fact and fiction together, mixing real characters and those created from whole cloth, his stories are his views of the old west of the 19th century. Mr. Lewis’s roots in Oklahoma reach back to the 19th century when his great-grandfather John, moved through the Indian territories and eventually Oklahoma territory yearly. He operated a traveling musical group who sold a panacea concoction most often called “Snake Oil.”
Eventually his Grandfather John Henry settled in the Winding Stair Mountains of eastern Oklahoma, very near to Robbers Cave. John Henry worked for a mining company as an elevator operator. His grandfather was well known and all who knew him knew his credo in life. “I don’t want to be higher than picking corn or lower than digging potatoes.”
Hearing stories from his father, uncles and grandfather about life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries kindled a love for those bygone days. Many of these stories are the basis for his writing.

October 1865, United States Deputy Marshal Wounded Hawk, delivers a prisoner to the high-country settlement of Estes Park. He ends up spending the night in a cell as no hotel or boarding house would let him stay in one of their rooms. The price for being a half-breed was high in those days.
Horace Ghent, his nephew Obe, and their gang of miscreants plan to stick up the Bank of Estes Park. Cash in hand, they’ll ride into the valley below Estes and beyond the mountains on the other side. These small mountain communities that cater to the idle rich hadn’t the grit to tackle hardened men, or so Horace believes.
The desperate men rob the bank and flee into a deep valley in the Rocky Mountains, but hadn’t planned on Wounded Hawk being in Estes Park. Deputy US Marshal Wounded Hawk and a posse were hot on their trail. No sane person wants that half-breed Crow on their trail.
But no one ever accuses Horace Ghent of being sane.
