Desert Justice: A Sonny Tabor Quartet

Sonny Tabor made his debut as a Western character in a story titled "The Eleventh Notch" published in 1929. In this introductory story, it is quickly established that Tabor is an outlaw pursued for the reward being offered for his capture. In "Sonny Tabor's Gun School," Tabor is captured with another outlaw and sentenced to hang. In "Border Blackbirds," Tabor is handcuffed to a lawman and they are left in the desert without food, water, or horses. In "Kid Wolf Rounds Up Sonny Tabor," Kid Wolf captures Tabor only to discover that Tabor is innocent. Now Kid Wolf must get Sonny out of jail and find the guilty party. Paul Sylvester Powers was a prolific and well-known pulp Western writer whose characters enraptured an entire generation of Wild West Weekly readers during the Great Depression.
