Two subjects continue to fascinate people—the Old West and a good mystery. This book explores and examines twenty-one of the Old West's most baffling mysteries, which continue to lure the curious and beg investigation but have eluded experts for decades. Many relate to the death or disappearance of some of the best-known lawmen and outlaws in history, such as Billy the Kid, Buckskin Frank Leslie, The Catalina Kid, and Butch Cassidy. Others involve several mysterious tales and legends of lost mines and buried treasures that have never been recovered.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A Good Read,
By Weston C. Childers "Wes Childers" (San Angelo, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Unsolved Mysteries of the Old West (Paperback)
Jameson's book is great for Old West enthusiasts or just the average mystery buff. Such notable characters as Billy the Kid and Clamity Jane are but a few of the enigmatic characters that are featured. The only flaw of the book would be that some of the mysteries seem cliched as they have been explored time and time again (and solved in certain cases), but that does not by any means take away for the entertaining and thought-provoking nature of the book.
