Dan Saunders never wanted to be anything other than what he was - Sheriff of Martin County, Texas. His greatest ambition was to serve and protect the people he loved in the place where he grew up. All of his devotion, his integrity, his very life were spent keeping the peace in a sparsely-settled West Texas county, where life is precious and where the frontier virtues of courage, neighborliness, and justice are still valued. It could fairly be said that no man ever gave more of himself for his friends than Sheriff Dan Saunders.
