200 Texas Outlaws and Lawmen, 1835–1935
A lively reference covering a century’s worth of shooters, sheriffs, and more in the Lone Star State.
The Lone Star State is known for producing both vicious outlaws and valorous lawmen. While Machine Gun Kelly terrorized urban civilians, lawmen such as Ranger John Barclay Armstrong tried to keep things under control. This is the story of Texas’s most famous criminals, intrepid lawmen—and in the case of James Edwin Reed, both—as well as such figures as the legendary Judge Roy Bean.
This reference brings to life a time before the West was tamed, and also includes a chronology of well-known crimes and a locale list of notorious events.
