The year is 1869, and Law and Order is still a precious and rare commodity on the frontier following the Civil War. Thomas Fletcher had followed in his father's footsteps and joined the cavalry. The horrors of the War drove all the "soldiering" out of young Fletch and he began to drift, first hiring on with Wells Fargo riding shotgun on their stagecoaches. That was where he developed his love of the 12gauge shotgun which became his life's companion. Warren Tate was a hired gun, known for his ability to bring law and order to the frontier towns of Kansas and Missouri. He and Fletch partnered up to help the folks of Lucking Mills, Kansas deal with a threat from marauding guerilla bands. These remnants of William Quantrill's Raiders were still a force to deal with, even years after the War was over. Tate and Fletcher will be called on to use all their courage and ingenuity in dealing with the contingencies. Then, after successfully eliminating one of the notorious criminal bands, the Goddard Gang, Fletcher and Tate were singled out by the governor of the territory. He wants to make them territorial marshals. Local Sheriffs have no territorial recognition, their jurisdiction is limited to the town line. In Texas, the Rangers were developed to deal with these larger, regional problems, in Kansas, it will be Fletcher and Tate.
