Harry Morse - gunfighter, manhunter, and sleuth - was among the
West's most famous lawmen. Elected sheriff of Alameda County,
California, in 1864, he went on to become San Francisco's foremost
private detective. His career spanned five decades. In this
gripping biography, John Boessenecker brings Morse's now-forgotten
story to light, chronicling not only the lawman's remarkable
adventures but also the turbulent times in which he lived.Armed
only with raw courage and a Colt revolver, Morse squared off
against a small army of desperadoes and beat them at their own
game. He shot to death the notorious bandidos Narato Ponce and Juan
Soto, outgunned the vicious Narciso Bojorques, and pursued the
Tiburcio Vasquez gang for two months in one of the West's longest
and most tenacious manhunts. Later, Morse captured Black Bart,
America's greatest stagecoach robber. His exploits were legendary.
Drawing on Morse's diaries, memoirs, and correspondence,
Boessenecker weaves the lawman's colorful accounts into his
narrative. Rare photographs of outlaws and lawmen and of the sites
of Morse's exploits further enliven the story.
