Outlawed

the long version

"Texas Ranger Jim Hatfield faced the gravest challenge of his perilous career. The Lone Star State was up for grabs -- bloodthirsty Apaches, Cherokee and Creeks had been goaded onto the warpath by a trio of ruthless rebels whose diabolical dream of empire was almost fulfilled when they framed the tall, lean lawman for a brutal killing. Alone and discredited, Hatfield had to make a gunman's choice --'Swing for murder or cut down your enemies one by one!'" Book Jacket.
