In the final days of the American frontier, one court stood between chaos and order: the federal bench at Fort Smith, Arkansas. Presided over by the formidable Judge Isaac C. Parker, this court held authority over a vast and often lawless stretch of Indian Territory. With a gavel in hand and the gallows looming behind the courthouse, Parker issued more than one hundred death sentences in a determined effort to bring justice to a region in turmoil. No Man's Law tells the compelling story of how outlaws, lawmen, victims, and judges came together in a courtroom that became both feared and famous. From the fearless deputy marshals who patrolled the territory, including the legendary Bass Reeves, to the infamous criminals they pursued, this book follows the rise and decline of one of the most remarkable legal institutions in American history. Blending legal drama, frontier conflict, and rich historical detail, Rebecca Weissman brings to life the trials, testimonies, and transformations that shaped this era. Through vivid storytelling, she explores the lives of the men and women who stood before Judge Parker, whether seeking justice, escaping punishment, or upholding the law. Carefully researched and powerfully written, No Man's Law is a vivid account of American justice on the edge of statehood. It serves as a reminder of the people, decisions, and consequences that defined one of the most complex and compelling periods in the nation's legal past.
