Man Hunter in Indian Country

George Redman Tucker was a well-known lawman during his time but almost lost to the pages of history. Norman Wayne Brown brings to life a man whose career chasing outlaws took him from Texas, through the Indian Territory, to Wyoming and back to Texas. Man Hunter in Indian Country separates fact from fiction and tells the story of one of the last lawmen of the Old West.

Tucker's career as a lawman brought him into contact with several legends of the era, including Isaac Charles Parker, better known as the "Hanging Judge." Tucker was also present during several of the best-known episodes in the history of the "Old West," including the lawlessness of the Indian Territory, the Johnson County Range War in Wyoming, and the Oklahoma Land Rush.

George Redman Tucker documented his life in an unpublished manuscript that tells of his exploits in law enforcement. This manuscript was the basis of much of the information in Man Hunter in Indian Country. But the author also did extensive research to separate the facts from what could best be described as embellishment by Tucker.
