Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During an era when many women concentrated on hearth and home, thousands of women quietly and without pay served in law enforcement. They organized, administered, presented reports to county commissioners, prepared for inspections, comforted victims, disciplined unruly inmates, fought with escapees, rode shotgun with their husbands as backup, and raised children, tended gardens, and kept house. They risked their lives every day and some paid the ultimate price. This is their story. The office of county sheriff has existed in America since 1634. Between 1800 and 1960, families of the sheriff lived in or near the jail. All family members, young and old, worked alongside the lawman to fulfill the required duties, without additional pay. The mom and pop jail was truly a family business. After the middle of the 20th century, fewer families carried on this tradition as counties modernized and jails became professionalized.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1957, a young Holmes County farmer was gunned down in cold blood. There was little to distinguish this slaying from hundreds of others throughout the United States that year except for one detail: Paul Coblentz was Amish. A committed pacifist, Coblentz would not raise a hand against his killers. As sensational crimes often do, the "Amish murder" opened a window into the private lives of the young man, his family and his community--a community that in some respects remains as enigmatic today as it was more than half a century ago. Authors of Wicked Columbus, Ohio's Black Hand Syndicate and others, David Meyers and Elise Meyers Walker unravel the intricacies surrounding one of Ohio's most intriguing murder cases.

When Jess Stark returns home to Lonesome, Texas to attend the wedding of her cousin, Liam Stark, one dance with the handsome cowboy she left behind, and the bright city lights of Dallas and her career as a journalist aren’t nearly as compelling as the ardent emotion shining in Hector's eyes and the longings in her own heart. Love with an Imperfect Lawman Love at first sight? Part I When recently-jilted Emily DeLeon drives to South Texas on a magazine assignment, the last thing she’s looking for is love with a dangerous lawman. Then she finds a wounded law officer lying face down on a lonely dark road. No way can she leave him to die. Part 2 When Sheriff Homer Gonzales, sheriff of Lonesome County regains consciousness, he remembers a pair of beautiful brown eyes in the face of an angel. Is she real? Or a figment of his imagination? If she’s real, he has to find her so he can ask her to stay…maybe forever… Or maybe he should play it smart and protect her…which means pushing her away…
