AND THE LAST SHALL BE FAST Lawrence Shaw once got a boost out of being the quickest gun alive. Now he’s partial to telling gunfighter stories rather than living them.

Review"Cotton's blend of history and imagination works." -- Wild West Magazine (UNKNOWN ) About the AuthorRalph Cotton has been an ironworker, a second mate on a commercial barge, a teamster, a horse trainer, and a lay minister with the Lutheran church.
