Book Description
Age of the Gunfighter tells the story of the tempestuous life and times of the notorious gunfighters of the American West. The book provides a vivid account of this violent time, combining contemporary accounts with meticulous historical research and an unjaundiced appraisal of the facts. Telling the story of every major gunfighter, peace officer, and outlaw of the American West, Joseph G. Rosa places them in the context of an unpredictable frontier and the coming of law and order. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
