Summary
Who are the lawmen and who are the outlaws? ... Was there, in fact, always a distinction between officers of the law and lawbreakers in the Old West?" These are the key questions that ten well-known historians puzzle over in their revealing portraits of such legendary frontier figures as Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid, Belle Starr, Jesse James, and Wild Bill Hickok. The second book in Fulcrum's Notable Westerners series, this collection of lively, well-researched biographies examines the lives of famous-and infamous-characters of the Old West.
