One Badge Alone

About the Book

Alaska, the last frontier.  I was met with phone calls saying get out of town or you’re dead.  I was shot at the second night brown bears came into the village, I’m one of the few people that has stood nose to nose with a huge brown bear and lived.  I was the only law for a hundred plus miles, there was no Jail, no police radio, and most of all no backup.  The only way in or out of the village was by plane or boat.  I have a saying, “You stand your ground and you don’t back down, if you do there’s no need to stay around, Just get on a plane and get the hell out of town.”
