Drawing on fact and folklore, dueling authors Bill Markley and
Kellen Cutsforth present opposing viewpoints pertaining to
controversies surrounding some of the most well-known characters
and events in the history of the Old West. In an entertaining and
conversational style, Markley and Cutsforth take conflicting sides
to debunk and in some cases, proliferate the myths, legends, and
realities of some of the West’s most famous figures, including: -
Billy the Kid -Jesse James -Buffalo Bill Cody -Calamity Jane -the
Earp brothers - and many more The real lives of the historic
figures in Old West Showdown are shrouded in controversy and myth.
Was Jesse James a Southern Son fighting for the cause of the fallen
Confederacy, or a blood-thirsty cutthroat justly pursued by the
authorities? Was Billy the Kid a misunderstood youth or a
cold-blooded killer? Did Buffalo Bill Cody truly ride for the Pony
Express as a young man? Or, was he just a blowhard who trumped up
his own past in an attempt to seem more heroic in the eyes of
audiences attending his Wild West shows? These questions and many
more will be explored in this exciting book.
