In West Texas, counties were being reduced to more manageable sizes, and thus Irion County was borne in 1889. As the state legislature officially organized the county, local officials were appointed to begin the government, holding their positions until elections could be held. Many sought those positions of power, while others accepted their appointments as temporary, only wishing to help the county get up and running.One of those who answered the call was middle-aged rancher Matt Kincaid, a former Texas Ranger. What should have been a fairly easy job for a short time, Kincaid, at the behest of the county judge and with the consent of his family, accepted the position of sheriff. The newly designated area of Irion County had been peaceful for more than a decade, so Kincaid was surprised when he was called into action during his first official week as sheriff. Receiving the report of a dead body in his jurisdiction, Kincaid began to investigate—an action that placed a target on his back and brought danger to all those around him.Grab your copy today! less
