West Texas Dust

Mattie May Cottrill is the self-appointed sheriff of a small West Texas town with boarded up windows. She patrolled the streets nightly with her Catahoula dog, Pernella and her trusty old rifle. The main concern was that someone was trying to take over all the ranches through eminent domain. They were told that it would make the country energy efficient, however, no details were given to any of the ranchers. As time dragged on for months, the ranchers lost hope. Throughout their struggles things turned around somewhat.
