Outlaws of the Pacific Northwest [Paperback]

Bill Gulick (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2000

Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Caxton Press

The lawlessness of the frontier towns of the plains states is well documented.  However, as silver and gold deposits were found in the Pacific Northwest the rush of miners and speculators that brought to the region brought with it its own share of crime and criminals.  Author Bill Gulick sticks to the facts in telling the stories of this region but does so in swift conversational prose that entertains and educates.

Review

"A legendary writer of American Western history and fiction, Bill Gulick has made us another rich gift....This is a genuine gem of a book."—Dan Hays, Statesman Journal

(Dan Hays Statesman Journal )

From the Publisher

In 1950, a new Western novel appeared on bookstore shelves around the nation. Bend in the Snake, the first book by young writer named Bill Gulick, was so well received that it was made into a major motion picture-Bend in the River, starring Jimmy Stewart.

During the past half century, Bill Gulick has written more than thirty fiction and nonfiction Western books, several screenplays and dozens of newspaper and magazine articles. He is one of the legendary figures in Western writing.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of his first book, we dedicate Outlaws of the Pacific Northwest to Bill Gulick, and his charming wife, Jeannie.

This review is from: Outlaws of the Pacific Northwest (Paperback)

I am a high school social studies teacher, and I use this book in my Washington State History class. It is a great resource for the students, and they also like the stories in the book. If you are interested in the shady side of the PNW, then this book is good for you.

Bill Gulick is a resident of my town and specializes in books about the Pacific Northwest. I am particularly interested because I have just joined the Daughters of the Pioneers and want to learn local history. Very interesting.
