The Short-story Prequel to The Cactus Creek
Challenge-- Get to Know Ben Wilder's Legendary
Sheriff Father and Why Ben Has Big Shoes to Fill
The notorious Dickenson Gang had wrecked havoc on Texas in
the 1870s, and no lawman had been able to best them until
Obadiah Wilder stood his ground on a hot July day in 1874.
Here, told in Sheriff Wilder’s own words, is the story of
his ultimate defeat of these rugged outlaws, and the true
tale of what led to Obadiah becoming a true legend in Cactus
Creek, Texas, history.
Don't Miss Cactus Creek
Challenge in July 2015! Anything he can do, I can
do better. At least that was what Cassie Bucknell
thought before she pinned on Ben Wilder’s badge and took to
patrolling the streets of Cactus Creek, Texas. Cassie has
been in love with Ben since primer school, but Ben treats
her like a little sister. When they are picked to swap jobs
for a month as part of the annual Cactus Creek Challenge in
their Texas hometown, the schoolhouse is thrown into an
uproar, the jail becomes a temporary bank vault, and Cassie
and Ben square off in a battle of wills that becomes a
battle for their hearts.
