Marshal Bill Tilghman is recognized by historians as one of the greatest law enforcement officers in the West. For more than forty years, Tilghman kept peace in some of the most notorious frontier towns – from Dodge City, Kansas to Cromwell, Oklahoma. His wife Zoe, a teacher and accomplished published author, stood with him through the trials associated with this job.
When the lawman is killed in the line of duty in 1924, Zoe is tasked with writing a book about the marshal and the exciting history of the last days of the Western frontier. Tilghman: The Legendary Lawman and the Woman Who Inspired Him is the biography of Zoe Stratton Tilghman writing the biography of her famous husband. It’s the story of a woman’s struggle to raise her three boys alone and honor the life of the man she loved so dearly.
