It all starts in a local Texas library.

Twelve-year-old James Buchanan Tanner is looking for something exciting to read. While walking down an aisle, he notices a western novel entitled James Buchanan “Buck” Tanner and The Silver Concho. Could he possibly be related to the famous cowboy? Looking closer, James notices a complete series of books entitled “The Tanner Clan.” He checks out The Silver Concho and rushes home, excited to start reading.

James “Buck” Tanner is eighteen years old when he is put in charge of his first cattle drive. They join up with other ranchers in the area to drive the cattle up to Kansas City. Buck and his best friend Shorty are sent out to find more drovers to help with the large herd. Things take a turn for the worse when Shorty is killed one night in a barfight. Buck suspects his death was a planned murder and vows to see justice is done. Seeking proof, Buck agrees to become deputy for the small town of Bedford, Texas. He’ll learn corruption runs deep in Bedford.
