5.0 out of 5 stars
A close study of various criminal cases,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Myth of the Hanging Tree: Stories of Crime and Punishment in Territorial New Mexico (Paperback)
Former New Mexico state historian Robert J. Torrez presents Myth of the Hanging Tree: Stories of Crime and Punishment in Territorial New Mexico, a close study of various criminal cases that tell of the often gruesome role that legal hangings and lynching's had in enacting frontier justice. In these violent episodes lie an indelible legacy influencing America's modern perception of the Old West. Myth of the Hanging Tree sorts truth from fiction. Illustrated with a handful of black-and-white photographs, Myth of the Hanging Tree is a singularly fascinating addition to crime history reference shelves and collections.
