Book Synopsis Outlaws with Badges by : Laurence J. Yadon
Download or read book Outlaws with Badges written by Laurence J. Yadon and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Old West, upright lawmen were scarce. Often, the men who were bound to keep the peace were just as corrupt as the men they pursued. These dishonest deputies chose their professions based on convenience rather than conviction, and the most revered were often the wiliest. These men held grudges, ruled with violence, and instilled fear in all who crossed their paths. Offered here is an untainted perspective of these outlaws that discerns fact from myth. Legends such as Wyatt Earp and renegade lawman Dirty Dave Rudabaugh are presented as real men with quirks and weaknesses. The authors deconstruct not only the Dalton's last stand in Coffeyville, Kansas, and the gunfight at the OK Corral-among other famous heists-but also the triumphs and flaws of their organizers. The Old West's former outlaws turned good, former lawmen gone bad, and honorable citizens who moonlighted as robbers and rustlers are presented in these pages. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Laurence J.

Book Synopsis Outlaw Tales of the Old West: Fifty True Stories of Desperados, Crooks, Criminals, and Bandits by : Erin H. Turner
Download or read book Outlaw Tales of the Old West: Fifty True Stories of Desperados, Crooks, Criminals, and Bandits written by Erin H. Turner and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of fifty outlaw tales includes well-knowns such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Frank and Jesse James, Belle Starr (and her dad), and Pancho Villa, along with a fair smattering of women, organized crime bosses, smugglers, and of course the usual suspects: highwaymen, bank and train robbers, cattle rustlers, snake-oil salesmen, and horse thieves. Men like Henry Brown and Burt Alvord worked on both sides of the law either at different times of their lives or simultaneously. Clever shyster Soapy Smith and murderer Martin Couk survived by their wits, while the outlaw careers of the dimwitted DeAutremont brothers and bigmouthed Diamondfield Jack were severely limited by their intellect, or lack thereof. Nearly everyone in these pages was motivated by greed, revenge, or a lethal mixture of the two. The most bloodthirsty of the bunch, such as the heartless (and, some might argue, soulless) Annie Cook and trigger-happy Augustine Chacón, surely had evil written into their very DNA.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You’ve heard Doc Holliday’s history, but do you know his story? Dance with the Devil is the story of a how a gentleman becomes an outlaw, how an outlaw becomes a lawman, and how a Southern son named John Henry becomes a legend called Doc Holliday. The year is 1873, and the West is wild. Jesse James and his gang are robbing trains, the Sioux Indians are on the warpath, and Dr. John Henry Holliday arrives in Texas as a young man with a troubled past hoping to regain his place as a Southern gentleman and win back the love of the girl he left behind. But his life in the West doesn’t turn out the way he’s planned, and soon he’s in trouble with the law and facing a terrifying truth as desperation drives him toward the frontier and leads to deadly action. And as the story races from the gambling halls of Dallas to the saloons of Dodge City and the dangers of the Santa Fe Trail, John Henry finds a new love affair and a new hero to follow—and an old enemy eager for a reckoning. Dance with the Devil is the second book in the award-winning Saga of Doc Holliday, an epic American tale of heroes and villains, dreams lost and found, families broken and reconciled, of sin and recompense and the redeeming power of love.
Download or read book Hoodoo Brown written by Glen Enloe and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to shine light on a dim corner of our Old West heritage, Hoodoo Brown: the Baddest Cowboy of Them All, pieces together the fragments of the colorful and mysterious life and times of Hyman Graham Neill, better known as Hoodoo Brown. In his day, Hoodoo was as infamous as Billy the Kid, Jesse James or the Dalton Gang, but for some strange reason his fame and that of his murderous Dodge City Gang has faded. While their reign of terror was short, they have sadly both been relegated to the status of a sometimes remembered footnote to history. Only the emergence of a video game in recent years has brought them back to life. Hoodoo Brown is the true story of a man who possibly could have gone on to much better and greater things, but instead succumbed to his own dark and deadly muses.

Book Synopsis Lawmen of the Old West by : Del Cain
Download or read book Lawmen of the Old West written by Del Cain and published by Taylor Trade Publishing. This book was released on 2001-01-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the law officers who served the West during the last half of the nineteenth century drifted from one side of the law to the other and sold their talents to whichever side offered the most advantage. Others used their positions as cover for their criminal activities. The lawmen in this book were serious offenders against the laws they had at one time sworn to uphold. Their skills were honed in range wars and family feuds and polished along the cattle trails, in the saloons and banks, and on the trains of the West. Some of them did good work enforcing the law when that was their job. Others had equally successful careers on the other side of the law. More than one kicked out their lives at the end of ropes strung up by citizens who were outraged by their abuse of the trust that went along with the badge they wore. These are their stories.

Book Synopsis When Outlaws Wore Badges by : Melody Groves
Download or read book When Outlaws Wore Badges written by Melody Groves and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **Winner of the 2021 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards (History, Other)** Lawman or Outlaw? At times, the black-hatted “villains” and white-hatted “good guys” of the Old West were one and the same. Often it was difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish who was who. Sheriff Wyatt Earp stole horses and ran brothels. Albuquerque’s first town marshal, Milton Yarberry, was accused of murder and subsequently “jerked to Jesus.” Burt Alvord, town marshal of Willcox, Arizona, and friends, robbed a train. Alvord then deputized these same friends into a posse to apprehend the robbers. It came as no surprise when his posse came up empty handed. Justice Hoodoo Brown and Deputy JJ Webb ruled Las Vegas as leaders of the Dodge City Gang until they were run out of town by citizens fed up with their type of justice. “Mysterious” Dave Mather and even two of the Dalton Gang spent time behind a badge, as well as behind bars. When Outlaws Wore Badges explores the double lives of outlaw lawmen through some of the West’s most memorable frontier characters.
Book Synopsis Eli, a Shepherd Boy, from Boyhood to Manhood by : Ronald B. McPherson
Download or read book Eli, a Shepherd Boy, from Boyhood to Manhood written by Ronald B. McPherson and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-07-18 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eli Macpherson’s grandparents traveled with an 1858 wagon train caravan over the Santa Fe Trail to the New Mexico Territory. The settlers established a settlement called Friendly Valley located in the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Eli, born in 1862, completed eighth grade at the Friendly Valley school. His early years are documented in books 1 and 2 in the Preface. Eli, a Shepherd Boy, from Boyhood to Manhood is a continuation of the Eli story. In 1876 he began working at his grandfather’s General Store while completing high school. On train travels east to attend college, Eli crossed the Mississippi River at St. Louis over the historic 1,524-foot steel arch bridge—an engineering marvel completed in 1874. Eli obtained a 160-acre homestead permit for land located north of Friendly Valley. During summer vacations from college, Eli, with the help of Jake, a mountain man who left the mountains after losing his wife to a grizzly bear, constructed buildings, built fences, and stocked the homestead with farm animals. When Eli graduated from college in 1885, he married Eleanor Lewis, an eastern girl, and the young couple traveled West to the New Mexico Territory. The story continues as the couple raise three children while living on Eli’s homestead ranch. Books 1, 2, and 3 include math–history topics interwoven into a human interest story of the American frontier to provide an interesting read for elementary and high school students. Author Ronald B. McPherson is a structural engineer and retired university professor.
