Since to date there is no record of systematic experience in
treating sex offenders by psychotherapy, this book fills a gap in
the literature. It is especially important at a time when the
courts have also called for the treatment - instead of merely the
punishment - of these delinquents. For the first time a report of
not only individual cases, but also of a methodical study of a
large patient group is available. By combining copious case studies
with statistical methods, clear and scientifically valid knowledge
results. In terms of psychodynamics, both behavioural and
counselling techniques have been applied. The book thus contributes
significantly to the present discussion of methods beyond those of
classical psychotherapy in the treatment of sex offenders.
Volume Two very closely follows the format established in Volume
One of Tombstone By Tombstone: Here Lies the Old West, with one
major exception. Volume One had 75 stories within just about the
same number of pages as Volume Two while this volume only contains
46. So the stories are more in-depth, and I do believe more
interesting. Once again we have some of the famous, infamous and
some that certainly are not household names. There are stories on
two of Wyatt Earp's brothers, but not on Wyatt. He does get
frequent mention as there is a story about a fellow who rode with
him and a fellow who did not. The ladies get good coverage again
this time. There are five women of the Old West and only one of
them could be considered a "Lady of the Evening," and after she
quit running with the Wild Bunch she seems to have given up that
life. There is a story of a western Indian who was sent east and an
eastern Indian who was sent west. And there is a story about the
boy that Geronimo missed when he attacked and destroyed the other
members of his family. And because he missed, the boy celebrated
his 107th birthday. There is a story about one very bad Indian
outlaw and one Indian that rode with Geronimo and wrote his own
autobiography. Did you know there was a fellow that fought the
Yankees in the War of Northern Aggression and after the war was
over received a Medal of Honor fighting with the US Army? Were you
aware that one Medal of Honor recipient shot and killed another MOH
recipient? Everyone knows who James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok is,
but other than Old West buffs, how many know the name Davis Tutt?
Some may be surprised to learn that the Gunfight Close to the OK
Corral was not the bloodiest in Arizona history and the bloodiest
didn't happen until after the beginning of WWI, and that was still
the Wild West here in Arizona. There are four of the meanest
killers that ever roamed the southwest and some of the best lawmen
ever assigned to catch them. Blacks, whites, Indians, Mexicans,
outlaws, in-laws, ladies and whores, they are all covered here and
everybody will find something that they did not know before reading
these stories.
Within these pages you will find stories of the real Old West...THE
GOOD, THE BAD and THE UGLY. These are interesting stories of folks
that you may or may not have heard of previously. Elmer McCurdy was
killed by a posse and then spent 66 years touring the country
before he was buried. Three ladies were kidnapped by Indians; one
made a harrowing escape; one was killed and mutilated; one died of
a broken heart when she could not return to her adopted tribe. "Big
Nose" Kate set a town on fire to help her man escape the law. One
young sheepherder was murdered by two brothers and ended up buried
next to one of them. Deputy Elfego Baca had as many as 4000 rounds
fired at him by 100 cowboys and was unharmed, not so the cowboys.
Montana vigilantes hanged five men at the same time from a rafter
in a drug store. Thornburgh, the Wonder Dog, was far more than just
the pet of Fort Bridger, Wyoming. Alfred Packer may or may not have
murdered the rest of his party, but he did eat them. These are a
few of the fascinating stories you will find inside this book.
