The only people tougher than the bank and train robbers of the Old
West were the citizens who banded together to create law and order
on the streets of their towns. Shoemakers and storekeepers, bank
men and local lawmen, barbers and liverymen--they all fought to
defend their homes and to defend their lives against the outlaws
who threatened them.
Tough towns faced down famous gangs like the Daltons and the
James-Youngers, drove off Mexican bandits, killed Pretty Boy
Floyd's chief lieutenant, and helped put an end to the
nineteenth-century rash of bank robbing in the West.
Ordinary-people-turned-heroes joined their neighbors and
fought--and sometimes died--because they wouldn't run away or turn
a blind eye to crime. Their stories, told by historian and writer
Robert Barr Smith, are a fascinating part of the legend of the Old
West.
