The Short-story Prequel to The Cactus Creek Challenge--Get to Know Ben Wilder's Legendary Sheriff Father and Why Ben Has Big Shoes to Fill The notorious Dickenson Gang had wrecked havoc on Texas in the 1870s, and no lawman had been able to best them until Obadiah Wilder stood his ground on a hot July day in 1874. Here, told in Sheriff Wilder’s own words, is the story of his ultimate defeat of these rugged outlaws, and the true tale of what led to Obadiah becoming a true legend in Cactus Creek, Texas, history. Don't Miss Cactus Creek Challenge in July 2015!Anything he can do, I can do better. At least that was what Cassie Bucknell thought before she pinned on Ben Wilder’s badge and took to patrolling the streets of Cactus Creek, Texas. Cassie has been in love with Ben since primer school, but Ben treats her like a little sister. When they are picked to swap jobs for a month as part of the annual Cactus Creek Challenge in their Texas hometown, the schoolhouse is thrown into an uproar, the jail becomes a temporary bank vault, and Cassie and Ben square off in a battle of wills that becomes a battle for their hearts.

I’m not sure why; I love Janette Oke’s books and the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, too, but somehow it’s not my “go-to” choice when I’m looking for an engrossing read. I still enjoy them, and have several authors I read within this sub-genre, but when choosing an unfamiliar author, I will often pick a different time and place.When this short story appeared, however, by a publisher I trust, I thought I’d try it. I am so glad I did! From the first pages, I was drawn into the tale and read right on through in two quick sittings. I found the main character to be realistic, and the setting of Cactus Creek and the minor characters who populate it to be interesting.I was surprised to find a lot to love in this short story, including the fantastic historical detail like the Sheriff protecting his town from the wranglers who would pass through as they took cattle to market in Kansas. For whatever reason, I never really thought about that aspect of a cattle drive, always picturing the wranglers as the good guys protecting the cattle rather than considering that there might have been some unscrupulous ones who left damage behind as they moved on.The other thing I really enjoyed was Obadiah’s integrity in his job as Sheriff. His insistence on doing right despite the cost, even when others urge the easier path, was encouraging. Given headlines we see in today’s news, I have to say it was a refreshing read. I also liked the relationship we get to see with his son, Ben, and how he’s raising his boys to be men committed to the truth and justice.This short story is fascinating in its own right, but it also serves as an introduction to Vetsch’s upcoming novel, The Cactus Creek Challenge, and I am already hooked on the story enough to look forward to reading it and continuing the story, with a better understanding of the new Sheriff, the youngest son of the lawman we read about in this short story. Try this author and see if you might like to visit Cactus Creek yourself—I’m thinking it will be a read many historical fiction fans will enjoy!

I would sit with him on Saturday morning and watch the sheriff take down bad guys. My dad would have liked this story . I felt like I was sitting in front of the TV watching a western unfold.The book may be short, but it was filled with such riveting characters and excitement till the end.What a thrill it was for Ben to see his dad, the sheriff stand up to a gang and become a hero with fierce and cunning plans. The Dickerson Gang, well known for their violence were coming to get their brother out of jail . What they didn't know was a man with strong values and a commitment to uphold the law would stand in the way of their plan.I loved this fast paced and whitty style of writing. Thank you for taking me back to the days of watching Saturday morning westerns . The book is filled with the feel of the old west and ends with you wanting to follow Ben, the son as he begins his journey. . His dad was a legend . Will Ben be able to live up to that standard ? Can he show the town how brave , and strong he is as he steps into the shoes of sheriff of Cactus Creek. ? The answers await readers in "The Cactus Creek Challenge."

But it's the perfect length for a quick break in between chores. The writing style was crisp and clear--enough details to make us feel we are there, but not so much as would drag down the thrust of this short story. Good little twist at the end. No foul language, and a very vague reference to a saloon girl (Sheriff said she didn't like what she did for a living). One murder, and moderate violence, which was to be expected given the title, but no terrible details. For the Christian element, the Sheriff said he prayed that he would lead his boys right. That was it. He knew trouble was coming, but he didn't seek the Lord's protection, wisdom, or grace. Even when in the midst of difficulty, he didn't offer up a desperate plea for help. I suppose he considered himself "self-sufficient" in most areas. Entertaining read, but it didn't make me want to be a better person. A touch more of Obadiah's faith in God, portrayed in a way that would encourage me to seek God more, would have earned this story another star. Ending on a positive, I must say again that I really enjoyed the writing style!
