Review
Historian Robert Ernst has put together a who's who of members of the U.S. Marshals Service; short biographies of the 288 lawmen of America's oldest federal law enforcement agency killed in the line of duty. The book should give everyone an idea of how dangerous law enforcement was, and still is. --Roundup Magazine, February 2007
This valuable reference book identifies the U.S. Marshals and how they met their death. Until this work the service had no comprehensive study of its members who died in the line of duty. This work is complete, covering the country from California to Alaska, to the Carolinas and Texas. The work is a gripping theme which is universal, that good men must continue to combat evil. --NOLA Quarterly, Oct-Dec 2006
Once in a very long while, a book comes along that is truly a researcher's dream. Bob Ernst, a career lawman himself, has now given lawman and outlaw students a compendium of brief life-sketches of U.S. marshals and deputy marshals who gave their lives in the line of duty. There is little to criticize about this fine book. May this book receive the wide-circulation it deserves. --WOLA Journal, Summer 2006

Robert Forsyth, one of the original thirteen appointees, was the first marshal killed in the line of duty: he was shot to death when he went to a house occupied by a Baptist minister to serve civil papers. Since Forsyth's death, at least 287 additional officers have met violent deaths in almost every imaginable way. These are the stories of those men who died in the line of duty, serving their communities and their country, until they became involved in Deadly affrays" A former law enforcement officer the author spent 20 years documenting the line of duty deaths of the U.
