This review is from: The Lawmen: United States Marshals and Their Deputies, 1789-1989 (Hardcover)
Dr. Calhoun is the historian for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Glynco, Ga. He is THE source for accurate historical information on US Federal Law enforcement. The Lawmen is a detailed and insightful book that portrays the story of the Marshals Service as it evolved over the years moving from cabinet to cabinet and interdicting in almost every major escalation of US evolution. The book reads like a history course offering minute details and golden tidbits of information about the deputies, the service, and their endurance over the last 200+ years. Calhoun also keeps up with more modern Marshals and describes the current status of America's "legitimately" oldest law enforcement agency. This is good reading for anyone interested in the Service.
