More DescriptionOf Men and Horses is the historic series on the life and times of Lucy Tressler Thornhill. It is a hell-for-breakfast story based on the well-researched life of a brave pioneer woman that lived in the wilds of Montana during its lawless territorial years. After being accused of being Kid Curry's lover Lucy Tressler was scorned by a jealous husband who took her children from her. Arizona Tough, book 3 in the series, Lucy has another chance at happiness when she marries Jimmer Thornhill, the neighbor and ranch partner of the now infamous outlaw, Kid Curry. Blizzards and the progression of the railroad with its settlers and sheep threaten the open range stockmen, eventually driving them from Montana to Arizona. As loyal friends of Kid Curry aka Harvey Logan, Jimmer and Lucy spend a lifetime shielding him from the Pinkerton detectives and a hangman's noose. The Thornhills have a lasting friendship with many notables of the early western frontier, such as famous cowboy artist, Charlie Russell, the Robert Coburn family, the wealthy cattle barons of the famous Circle C Ranch, as well as western authors, Ross Santee and Walt Coburn. Arizona Tough is a real-life story of not-so-ordinary people, people who lived by their word and a handshake. WW1 and the industrial age arrive in the 1900's as a new kind of foe to the old-time plainsman. Progress and depression threaten to do what blizzards, gun fights, and lies couldn't in conquering these stoic souls. Kid Curry returns and makes one last desperate ride in an attempt to save the mortgaged ranches of his old friends, The Coburn Brothers, as well as the Thornhills. Will he save them from the inevitable fall?
