Marshal Tom Smith takes on the lawless town of Abilene, Kansas—a place that's chewed up and spit out every marshal before him—with one unconventional strategy: he refuses to carry a gun. While the town's rougher element scoffs at a gunless lawman and the locals worry he won't survive a single day, Smith relies on his fists and an old town ordinance to restore order in the Lone Star Saloon and beyond. When one hothead decides a disarmed marshal makes an easy target, Smith's real mettle gets tested.
Bill West, foreman of Molly Sage's Blue Sage Ranch, uncovers a cunning scheme when a mysterious sheepman drives woolies onto the east range just as prize cattle vanish from the west—and a dead man's cigar leads him straight to a dangerous betrayal in their own town.
"Buffalo Hunters" traces the clash of cultures and hunting methods across the American frontier as Mexican lancers, white riflemen, and Native American hunters all converge on the vast herds roaming the West.

This glimpse into the era reveals how dramatically the buffalo population would be transformed by the competition and conflict among hunters.
