Download or read book The Lawmen written by Alton Pryor and published by Stagecoach Pub. This book was released on 2006 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawmen of the old west played a juggling act as far as the law was concerned. It was necessary for a successful lawman to be both tougher and smarter than the outlaw or the outlaw would win. He sometimes did. The Earp Brothers were no saints. Marshal Henry Plumber was hanged for crimes he committed while wearing a badge. Most of the sheriffs and marshals wearing badges also played at gambling, sometimes owning the gambling concessions in the town saloons. As one would suspect, it was gambling that caused much of the trouble in town. The lawmen found themselves both supporting gambling while controlling angry gamblers. Most lawmen were good with guns and practiced daily. Being a second late on a draw against a fast outlaw gunman could spell the difference in which man lived. Western author Alton Pryor has brought a host of western lawmen together in one book.

Book Synopsis Out of the West by : Rufus Rockwell Wilson
Download or read book Out of the West written by Rufus Rockwell Wilson and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2023-07-10 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epic of American expansion has had many chroniclers. Romance is wedded to heroism and rich achievement crowned high endeavor. In this present volume is woven the golden thread of that romantic and heroic era. Here, on these pages, live again the mighty men of those epoch-making days when the forces of manhood were matched against the forces of nature, valor against villainy, and life itself was ventured on a single hazard of fortune. Nurtured, many of them, in the calm and quiet of the more settled East, they dreamed as youths of those plains and mountains "out where the West begins." They matched their wits against the crafty red man and their strength against the perils and privations of a trackless wilderness. With the might to conquer they triumphed over heat and cold, over foe and famine, over storm and starvation, and made Death Valley a highway to the shores of the Pacific - where the West ends. The record which these pages unfold could be written only by a man who knows the West, and who, though himself an Easterner, feels akin with the spirit of the pioneer. Countless pages have been scanned for an accurate record of those men and times and for verification of the stirring incidents recited here. Numerous interviews and prolonged research have enabled the author to present a stirring, vivid picture of glamorous years and of valorous men who undeterred by danger and unafraid of death wrought mighty deeds and opened vast areas to commerce and civilization.

Book excerpt: “Lunger is a fast-paced, stirring read... Paul Colt does an excellent job weaving well-researched historical facts into this riveting drama.” —Chris Enss, New York Times Bestselling Author of According to Kate: The Legendary Life of Big Nose Kate, Doc Holliday’s Love_ The product of an aristocratic Old South upbringing, John Henry “Doc” Holliday’s dreams of a career in dentistry are dashed at a young age by respiratory disease. Encouraged to seek the therapeutic benefits of drier climes, John Henry undertakes an odyssey crossing the western frontier, often in the company of soiled dove Kate Elder. It’s a journey that transforms him from gentleman dentist to professional gambler. What emerges is a complex character we come to know through contrasting lenses—a family portrait protective of its legacy, a turbulent romantic relationship, and a friendship steeped in loyalty no matter the cost, all the while stalked by the specter of death riding a pale horse. Gambling, drinking, and living on the edge, ever beset by disease, Doc nevertheless maintains an inbred code of honor to violent necessity. He meets and befriends Wyatt Earp, following him from Dodge City in its wide-open, cow town heyday to a date with destiny in Tombstone. Ever trailing in Doc’s wake, Kate is never far behind, her love drawn to the self-destruction of a condemned man, like a moth to the flame of inevitable demise. Doc walks away from the legendary O.K. Corral gunfight. He survives the Earp vendetta ride. He escapes legal consequences of the killings in Tombstone. But he can never outrun the rider mounted on a pale horse. Dancing on the edge of oblivion, driven by fate and an unyielding will to live on his own terms, Lunger is Doc Holliday’s story as he himself might have told it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Truth About Wyatt Earp is the result of extensive research done by the author, Richard E. Erwin. After retiring from his career as a Criminal Defense Lawyer, he took up the task of ferreting out the truth surrounding the life and times of Wyatt Earp. He presents here solid evidence, based on old newspaper accounts, public records, documents buried in museums, state and national archives and libraries and reports of other researchers, to substantiate his view of what he believes to be The Truth About Wyatt Earp. Did you know... That Wyatt Earp was once indicted for horse stealing (He was never convicted.)? That there were four witnesses who could have testified that Tom McLaury was armed at the commencement of the O.K. Corral fight? That both Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday spent more than two weeks in jail in the custody of John Behan while the hearing on the O.K. Corral shoot-out was going on? The truth comes out in this illuminating essay on one of the most fascinating characters in history.

Book Synopsis Imagining Tombstone by : Kara L. McCormack
Download or read book Imagining Tombstone written by Kara L. McCormack and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When prospector "Ed" Schieffelin set out from Fort Huachuca in 1877 in search of silver, skeptics told him all he'd find would be his own tombstone. What he did discover, of course, was one of the richest veins of silver in the West—a strike he wryly called Tombstone. Briefly a boomtown, in less than a decade Tombstone was fading into what, for the next half-century, looked more like a ghost town. How is it, Kara McCormack asks, that the resurrection of a few of the town's long-dead figures, caught forever in a thirty-second shoot-out, revived the moribund Tombstone—and turned it into what the Arizona Office of Tourism today calls "equal parts Deadwood and Disney"? A meditation on the marketing of "authenticity," Imagining Tombstone considers this "most authentic western town in America" as the intersection of history and mythmaking, entertainment and education, the wish to preserve, the will to succeed, and the need to survive. McCormack revisits the facts behind the feud that culminated in the Earp brothers' and Doc Holliday's long walk to their showdown with the Clantons and McLaurys—a walk reenacted by so many actors that it became a ritual of Hollywood westerns and a staple of present-day Tombstone's tourist offerings. Taking into account decades of preservation efforts, stories told by Hollywood, performances on the town's streets, the fervor of Earp historians and western history buffs, and global notions of the West, Imagining Tombstone shows how the town's tenacity depends on far more than a "usable past." If Tombstone is "The Town Too Tough to Die," it is also, as this edifying and entertaining book makes clear, the place where authentic history and its counterpart in popular culture reveal their lasting and lucrative hold on the public imagination.
Book Synopsis Stagecoach to Tombstone by : Howard Hughes
Download or read book Stagecoach to Tombstone written by Howard Hughes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-10-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of the American West on film, through its shooting stars and the directors who shot them... Howard Hughes explores the Western, running from John Ford's 'Stagecoach' to the revisionary 'Tombstone'. Writing with panache and fresh insight, he explores 27 key films, and draws on production notes, cast and crew biographies, and the films' box-office success, to reveal their place in western history. He shows how through reinvention and resurrection, this genre continually postpones the big adios and avoids ending up in Boot Hill...permanently. Major films covered include the best from genre giants John Ford, Howard Hawks and John Wayne, plus classics 'High Noon', 'Shane', 'The Magnificent Seven' and 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'. 'Stagecoach to Tombstone' makes many more stops along the way, examining well-known blockbusters and lowly B-movie oaters alike. It examines comedy westerns, adventures 'south of the border', singing cowboys and the varied depiction of Native Americans on screen. Hughes also engagingly charts the genre's timely renovation by Sam Peckinpah ('Ride the High Country' and 'The Wild Bunch' ), Sergio Leone ('Once Upon a Time in the West') and Clint Eastwood ('The Outlaw Josey Wales' and 'Unforgiven'). Presented too are the best of western trivia, a filmography of essential films - and ten aficionados and critics, including Alex Cox, Christopher Frayling, Philip French and Ed Buscombe, give their verdict on the best in the west.
Book Synopsis The Cochise County Cowboys by : Joyce Aros
Download or read book The Cochise County Cowboys written by Joyce Aros and published by Goose Flats Graphics. This book was released on 2011 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joyce Aros combines her considerable artistic skill with careful research plus a fair amount of intuition, thus giving us a new and refreshing look at a variety of Cochise County "cowboy" characters associated with stories about the Earps.Heretofore, the "cowboys" have been portrayed as gun-slinging, snaggle-toothed bad guys bent on destruction with no family history, morals, or redeeming qualities.This book gives us a better understanding of the Earp enemies who have been written off as little more than scoundrels and scallywags. Certainly most of these men rode dark trails, but the Earps were not exactly choir boys. Tough times bred tough men.This is another side to the Tombstone story.
