Line 23:
* ''[[The Ox-Bow Incident]]'' by Walter Van Tilburg Clark, a book later turned into a movie, has a posse illegally drafted by a deputy sheriff. By the end, the sheriff forms a genuine posse.
* In Edgar Pangborn's short story "Tiger Boy", which is set in the same post-holocaust world as his novel ''Davy'', some villagers form a posse (legal status unclear) to apprehend the title character whom they consider to be a demon with an animal familiar. Actually he's just some kid who wanders around with a half-tame tiger looking for a friend, and he finds one in the form of an intelligent but mute village boy. The two of them plan to run away together, but with the posse on their trail it can't end well.
* In [[1632]] when Grantsville finds a band of soldiers raping and pillaging local farmsteads the police chief deputizes a posse. Of course they are only mildly interested in [[Wanted Dead or Alive|capturing]] the fugitives.
