This New York Times' bestseller features the West's most prominent
lawmen and criminals, who tell their stories of fight, death, and
survival. In the romantic narrative of the Old West, two
larger-than-life characters emerged as the perfect foils for each
other the rampant outlaw and the heroic peace officer. Without the
villain, sheriffs would not have needed to uphold the law; and
without the sheriff, villains would have had no law to break.
Together, both personalities fought, lost, and triumphed amid
shootouts, train robberies, and bank holdups against the backdrop
of the lawless American frontier. This spectacular New York Times'
bestselling collection of true memoirs and autobiographies, told by
the very people who lived these criminal and righteous lives during
the Old West, reveal the outlaw and peace officer at their worst
and best. Watch as Mark Twain introduces notorious gunslinger Jack
Slade; hear about Theodore Roosevelt's encounters with men, women,
and game from Roosevelt himself; read sheriff Pat Garrett's
biography of Billy the Kid, the outlaw he killed; and listen as
lawmen Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp describe each other in their
own accounts. Including other carefully curated stories by Tom
Horn, Cole Younger, and more, Outlaws and Peace Officers invokes
danger, honor, and the fight for survival during this perilous but
exciting chapter in American history.
