Halloran

About the Book

Halloran begins on a cattle ranch near a small cluster of buildings located in a mostly isolated area of early northwestern New Mexico where young Barney Halloran grew up helping his father on the family ranch. In his middle teens Barney began to practice his fast draw with a burning desire to be the fastest, and to be a United States Marshal. Both of these goals were realized. The story also tells of his close friendship with another fast gun who shared his pursuit of the lawless. I feel sure you will enjoy this story!

About the Author

Mr. Fox has certainly led a most interesting life. He has been a policeman, a fireman, a logger, a newspaper reporter, a short story writer, a novelist and other ventures into the journalistic field. But during those days the urge to write poetry never left him and for several years his verses were distributed in wall hanging scroll form in freeway restaurants and gift shops and were very well received. Mr. Fox’s favorite form of poetry is Quatrain although he admits to a weakness for Limericks and the particular style of humor they express. His book of poetry, Poetic Escape, was published recently. Mr. Fox was born on July 20, 1920, and grew up in the great Willamette Valley of Oregon and lived there all of his life with the exception of a few brief stays in other states. Mr. Clayton Hobart Fox died on October 28, 2008, one day after he gave his final approval for the cover design and the inside format of this book.
