About this listen
When Ruben Beeler finds a rancher friend shot to death and mutilated, he calls on Marshals Marion Daniels and Homer Poteet for help. That call begins a chase that takes the men from St. Joe into Kansas and down to Hell on the Border and the Fort Smith court of Hangin' Judge Issac Parker. In pursuit of the killers, the Marshals venture into the Oklahoma Territory, or "The Nations" as it was known at the time, following a path of bloodlust that began before the killing of Arkansas Bill Cole. Serial killers are nothing new, as the Marshals find out on the Cutthroat Trail.

It’s 1852. The wounds of the Mexican War are healing. Regis Royle, co-owner of a steamship fleet, has made it out alive, relatively unscarred and with enough profit and foolhardy ambition to envision a new life in south Texas. With the help of his crack-shot kid brother Shepley, his glad-handing riverboat partner Cormac Delany, and his old friend, raw-edged former Texas Ranger Jarvis “Bone” McGraw, Regis is laying claim to the prime jewel in a magnificent rolling prairie: the Santa Calina range teeming with wild mustangs, cattle, and eighteen-thousand acres of lush promise.

He's the son of a cattle rancher. A restless young dreamer who, under normal circumstances, would follow in his father's footsteps. Normal, however, is not his style. Like his famous grandfather and namesake Perley Gates - a hell-raising mountain man with a heavenly name - young Perley wants adventure, excitement, and freedom. And like his grandfather before him, he will find his dream - in the untamed wilds of a lawless frontier. That dream though might just become a nightmare....

Story
The great state of Texas is a land of opportunity. For outlaws. And horse thieves. And cattle rustlers. Not to mention bank robbers, train robbers, and anything-that-ain’t-nailed-down robbers. The state’s governor, Richard B. Hubbard, is at the end of his rope. He wants to clean up Texas once and for all—and he’s desperate enough to try something crazy: hire a man who can do what the Texas Rangers can’t. A man not tied down by a wife or children. Or rules. Who’s not afraid to go outside the law.

Was it justice... or revenge? What drove a simple farmer to set out on an impossible quest after a gang of bloodthirsty killers that raped and murdered his wife and slit his small son's throat? Their trail led him halfway across the country and deep into Mexico. One by one he tracked them down and brought them to justice, sometimes at the end of a short rope, more often in front of his fast guns, and he didn't care which.

Johnny Shooter was sentenced to hang at noon. But Judge Isaac Parker, widely known as the "Hanging Judge", made Johnny an offer he couldn't refuse. The judge made him a Deputy United State Marshal, then sent his new deputy after the worst-of-the-worst outlaws the Indian territory had to offer, with the orders not to burden the court by bringing them back for trial. Now, rumor has it that whenever outlaws gather around a campfire, the word is: "The only thing worse than standing before the Hanging Judge is hearing that Johnny Shooter is on your trail!"

Story
In the early 1870's, the young state of Texas was struggling to survive. Its vast, undeveloped land of over 260 thousand square miles became a haven for the lawless. Murderers, rustlers and renegade bands of hostile Indians and Comanchero roamed the vast wastelands of west Texas with only a narrow river separating them from the sanctuary of Mexico. One group of dedicated lawmen stood between this element and the law-abiding citizenry - the Texas Rangers. This is the story of one of those men.

When they started throwing lead, Garrett and his father began returning fire. Garrett hit one of the rustlers just as his father’s horse went down. Hours later, as the doctor examined his father’s injury, Garrett knew that it was now his responsibility to provide for his crippled father, mother, and sisters.

Now nearly sixty, he’s a proud husband, father of four, and proprietor of the Powderhorn Ranch. He’s more content wrangling cows than criminals. But for every outlaw Brannigan put in jail, noosed, or left to the vultures, he made even more enemies. They’ve made the mistake of targeting his wife and children—only to discover that Ty Brannigan enforces his own law with a lightning-fast draw.

Amazing...so sad it's the last!
I'm not sure that this author will be writing more of this series but I will be first in line if he does. I will truly miss these characters and their fantastic friendship wrapped around justice on the trail. After the first book in the series I could not read them fast enough but wanted to savior them as well. A series not to be missed.

This series is destined to be a classic
Any additional comments?
This was an exceptionally good book in the series. I think I enjoyed it more than usual because more time was spent with Reuben at home with Miss Harmony and Little Bill than in pervious books. I love Reuben's relationship with his son. Of course I DO enjoy the parts where the three heroes are on the trail. It always amazes me how far they travel by horseback with no Interstate highways!! The author adds a new character in this book - Johnny Sweetwater, an Indian guide. He is an amazing character and I hope we will hear from his in future books.
This is an amazingly well written book, and series, and the author is also the best narrator possible for these books. David R. Lewis is an American treasure.

Into The Nations
In this book we learn more about Reubens relationship with his son. Bill is 5 now and idolizes his Dad. The 3 marshalls have to go after a killer who cuts throats after they're dead. At Ft. Smith a judge pairs them with Johnny, an Indian guide who takes them into the Nations. Good addition to the story. Hope he shows up in future stories. Looking forward to the next story in the series.

GREAT BOOK AND SERIES
Fantastic!! This is the seventh book in the David R Lewis' trail series. It was wonderful to connect with Ruben. Marion, and Homer, three US Marshals in the early west. I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series. I want to read them all in a hurry but am savoring them! I have been listening to them from audible, they are read by the author who is a wonderful narrator! I must confess I have the books too. I am hoping Mr. Lewis read the last in the series. Thank you for a great fun time!

David R Lewis, Great as usual!!
Would you listen to Cutthroat Trail again? Why?
As with all of David's trail books this was a great listen.
If you haven't listened to his other books start with Deer Run Trail, book 1.
What other book might you compare Cutthroat Trail to and why?
The trail series.
