Carl Justice was dead bushwhacked for the $10,000 he was carrying. But justice wasn’t dead, the posse from the cattleman’s association would see to that if they had to cover every section to the Mexican border and it looked like they might. At least the first men on the saddle didn’t find any trace of Justices killer or the gold. . .

John Tyler was the tenth president of the United States and was in the White House from 1841-1845

John Tyler had been elected vice president and became president when William Henry Harrison died after only a month in office. Throughout his term President Tyler fought for a treaty for the annexation of Texas to the United States and this was done during his term by joint resolution of congress. The mutiny on the USS Somers actually happened and Philip Spencer the son of secretary of war John Spencer was executed in a case that made naval history in 1843.

The events in this story took place during the last year of the administration of President John Tyler. The first Mrs Tyler passed away in 1842. The tragic explosion aboard the war ship Princeton occurred in February 1844 and on June 26th of that year President Tyler and Julia Gardiner were quietly married in New York City. The bride was just 24 years old and Tyler was some 30 years her elder. Never the less they lived very happily together until Tyler’s death in 1862. Their three sons grew up to serve their country well, one was a college president, one was a judge and the youngest a brilliant lawyer.
