This cowboy has been roaming the prairies for a long time now.
The proud son of an Irishman and a beautiful Cherokee maiden.
His grandfather, on his mother's side, was a famous decorated Indian scout for the Union Army.
His mother's family left the Trail of Tears and blended into the countryside of Arkansas back in the late 1800's.
His father, a professor, came over from Ireland on a large ship and migrated to the Mason-Dixon Line.
He was a mighty fine man.
He educated his son in book learning, and his grandfather educated him about the land.
Although he was a man of few words, he had a kind heart and a twinkle in his eyes.
He left his home town in search of, well no one knows the answer to that, but he has been roaming these prairies for a long time.
The indians call him their friend and gave him the name of the "Restless One" because he couldn't stay in one place too long.
The prairie winds were always calling to him, but one day he found his way to Delano and answered an ad for a town sheriff.
His first day on the job he came in contact with the Dollies.
He caught their thow that first night, and he's been with them ever since.
He takes good care of the town, and real good care of the Dollies.
At times the girls have found him to be a little on the "Reckless" side because he was always talking chances against any hombre that came to town who just couldn't behave.
It must be that auburn red hair that comes to him naturally by his father that gives him that spunk.
The hombres didn't have a chance because he calmed the waters and the storms down all by himself.
And that is how he got his name, we call him Sheriff Reckless, Restless Red.
