The people who pushed west were mostly ordinary folks, the guts of
the young United States, tough, ambitious, hardworking, and anxious
to leave the world better for their kids than it had been for them.
Those who did not come of that hardy stock did not last. With them
came the trouble-makers, to everybody's sorrow. Some of them were
already running from the law someplace else. Others were simply
dishonest, looking for a time and place to blossom into full-blown
hoodlums. Some of the young people emulated them: there was some
illusory swagger in being a hoodlum, witness the nicknames they
carried around . . . many of which they had invented themselves, a
sort of phony glory. This collection of short, action-filled
stories of the Old West's most egregiously bad bad guys caught in
the act of mayhem, distraction, murder, and highway robbery,
includes famous names like the Dalton gang, lesser known bandits
like Kaiser Bill Goodman, and many more. The book will include
archival illustrations and photographs of the shady characters and
the scenes of their crimes.
