This review is from: Joe Lefors: I Slickered Tom Hornn: the History of the Texas Cowboy Turned Montana-wyoming Lawman (Paperback)

After reading "Killing Is My Specialty" I had to get Carlson's sequel on my recent trip through Wyoming. I found it in a bookstore in West Yellowstone, MT, leaving plenty of Wyoming time to read it.

Between the Horn book and the Lefors book, a mock trial had been held in Cheyenne wherein Horn was acquitted.

Although both books appear to be very well documented, I couldn't help but feel that Carlson may have a bit of bias in favor of Horn and against Lefors. Not being part of the Wyoming culture, it may be unfair to make that characterization, but it's what I felt.

An eminently readable book; not to be read without having read about Tom Horn first; preferably Carlson's account.
