Strongheart (2010)
Strongheart
“Marshal Cooper was tall and slender, maybe six-two and 190 pounds, but that was all muscle and sinew from all his years of hard work.
The marshal had high cheekbones, a prominent nose, and honest, intelligent hazel eyes that would bore daggers through anybody. Much older than Joshua’s ma, he had a little gray in his mustache, which was always well trimmed and ran full down in a point just past the corner of each thin lip. Like his hair, it was primarily dark brown.
He was not given to talking, ...just doing. Dan was a very harsh taskmaster on Joshua when he was growing up, but he was all man and he was bound and determined to make his stepson a man. He said the country was too unforgiving for him to go easy on the boy.
The thing Joshua remembered most about the only father that he ever knew was how good the man could fight, even though he was much smaller than some of the giant buffalo hunters and mountain men he had to arrest. Dan had actually taken a section of log weighing over two hundred pounds, shaved the bark off of it and the two thick branches that extended out for two feet, and sanded the whole thing, rounding the ends so they would resemble thick arms.MoreLess
