Jim Hatfield Texas Rangers #8 Jackson Cole

The unbelievable had happened. A series of brutal killings of ranchers and sodbusters had rocked the range. And the killings pointed damningly at the peaceful Lipan Indian tribe. As the anger of the ranchers rose and the Indians prepared to defend themselves, Ranger Jim Hatfield rode into the middle of the impending carnage. He had a hunch that the finger of guilt should point in another direction-but was it not too late? Had the bad blood on both sides reached a point of no return? Jackson Cole was a house name for the Thrilling Group. "The Red Marauders" was written by Tom Curry and appeared in the August 1944 issue of Texas Rangers pulp magazine.
