$\"\"$ ABOUT THE BOOK: <\/strong>HISTORICALLY SOUND AND HILARIOUSLY FUNNY! H.H. Lomax meets Wild Bill Hickok in Springfield, Missouri, and is responsible for Hickok\u2019s legendary gunfight with Davis Tutt. Fearing Hickok will hold a grudge, Lomax escapes Springfield and agrees to promote Joseph G. McCoy\u2019s dream of building Abilene, Kansas, into a cattle town, ultimately leading the first herd to Abilene from Texas.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n <\/p>\n

\nAlong the way, he encounters Indians, rabid skunks, flash floods, a stampede, and the animosities of some fellow cowboys trying to steal profits from the drive. Lomax is saved by the timely arrival of now U.S. Marshal Hickok, but Lomax uses counterfeit wanted posters to convince Hickok his assailants are wanted felons with rewards on their heads.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n <\/p>\n

\nLomax and Wild Bill go their separate ways until they run into each other a decade later in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, where Hickok vows to kill Lomax for getting him fired.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n <\/p>\n

\nFirst Herd to Abilene is an entertaining mix of historical and hysterical fiction.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
