Long Arm of the Law

Sheriffs, Deputies and US Marshalls were the law officers of the Old West.  They often had to travel long distances to capture and arrest horse thieves, bank robbers, cattle rustlers or murders.   For many hours or days and even weeks they would ride over frigid snowy mountains, hot dry deserts, across rivers and lonesome prairies hunting the lawbreaker.  Often, they used up more than one horse as they rode long and hard.   In this bronze sculpture Bill depicts a lawman having caught up with horse thieves, and is in a hot pursuit shoot-out with his, “Long Arm of the Law”.
