In the tale, Long Time Coming, Bertram Skinner relates the worst day of his life.
The now quiet town of Ellsworth, Kansas, has a darkness from the past woven into the very fabric of its existence. Retired City Marshal Bertram Skinner has carried a burden for far too long. For years, he has lived with a haunting from an incident that left him questioning the true nature of justice. And now, he makes his yearly visit with his replacement, Marshal Jeb Carter, to unburden himself.
As they enjoy coffee and smoke, he describes his arrival and the first year of his life in a place everyone called, "The wickedest cattle-town in Kansas."
Mr. Lewis's roots in Oklahoma reach back to the 19th century when is his great-grandfather John moved though the Indian territories, and eventually Oklahoma territory yearly. He operated a traveling musical group who sold a panacea concoction most often called "Snake Oil."
Eventually his grandfather, John Henry, settled in the Winding Stair Mountains of eastern Oklahoma, very near to Robbers Cave. John Henry worked for a mining company as an elevator operator. His grandfather was well known and all who knew him knew his credo in life. "I don't want to be higher than picking corn or lower than digging potatoes."
Hearing stories from his father, uncles and grandfather about life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries kindled a love for those bygone days. Many of these stories are the basis for his writing.
