Half the Terrible Things is an intimate and sometimes violent novel portraying three interconnected lives. Based on true events, the life of Martin Tabert is short and tragic. Tabert is a young farm boy from Munich, North Dakota. While traveling around the country in 1922, he is pulled off a train near Tallahassee, Florida, charged with vagrancy, sentenced to a convict work camp, and whipped to death by the camp “Whipping Boss.” His body is buried in an unknown location in wild swamp country. Eighty years later, his girlfriend, Edna, nearing her end in a nursing home in Devils Lake, ND, asks her granddaughter, Nicole, to find his grave. Nicole, a young attorney with the U.S. Justice Department in Washington, D.C., searches the Florida swamps while struggling with her own guilt stemming from her work at the Justice Department post 9/11. The Tabert case resulted in prison reform in Florida after North Dakotans intervened following Tabert’s death.

In a small North Dakota town, Sheriff Ray Adams faces the dangers of a changing world where bigotry and violence are fueled by social media. As he confronts these challenges, he reflects upon his own life, the life of his ex-wife--a former Miss Rodeo North Dakota--and the prejudices faced by their daughter growing up in a small town on the prairie. The peace is about to be shattered, and there will be blood. The Last Dakota Cowboy is a deeply moving story about love, loss, and betrayal in uncertain times. 

"Paul Legler's The Last Dakota Cowboy centers on a rough-and-tumble sheriff dealing with a broken marriage based on a near fatal attraction. At the same time, the oil boom brings big changes and shady characters to his small Dakota town. Heartfelt, full of the hard history of this country, and action packed, it's a natural for the legion of fans of Yellowstone and Madison and the Longmire series."
