Paperback. Condizione: Good. Rotgut Rustlers takes us on a fascinating tour of an often overlooked era of the West, a span of more than half a century from the late 1800s to the 1940s--from a period when vast reaches of the frontier were still lawless, into and beyond the Prohibition years, which were a boon not only to Chicago mobsters but to bootleggers from the Mississippi to the Pacific. It brings together twenty-five true stories about the wild outlaws and wild towns of the West during these years--stories about bank and stagecoach robbers, cattle rustlers, smugglers, counterfeiters, gamblers, racketeers, bootleggers, and crooked politicians. You'll meet: Ned Christie, the proud Cherokee who resisted arrest in Oklahoma by holing up in his makeshift log fortress Lawrence Kelly, who smuggled everything from illegal immigrants to opium into Washington State Lou Blonger, the elegant Coloradoan swindler who made a huge fortune off poor suckers Stelle and Bennie Dickson, who did their best to become South Dakota's very own Bonnie and Clyde.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. It Happened in Northern California takes readers on a rollicking, behind-the-scenes look at some of the characters and episodes from the state's storied past. Including both famous tales, and famous names--and little-known heroes, heroines, and happenings. Northern California is well known for its towering redwoods, Spanish missions, and gold mines, but few know about the two-year-long Native American occupation of Alcatraz, efforts by some northern Californians to establish the US's fifty-first state, or that John Sutter never capitalized on the gold rush that began on his land. It Happened in Northern California goes behind the scenes to tell these stories and many more, in short episodes that reveal the intriguing people and events that have shaped The Golden State.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Its wilderness notwithstanding, the Wild West was not necessarily a place to go in search of peace. While many settlers were decent folk, the American frontier's wide open spaces also attracted unsavory characters in disproportionate numbers, many on the run looking for places to hide while they went on snubbing the law. Badasses of the Old West brings together in one compelling volume tales of the thirty-six worst (and best) robbers, rustlers, and bandits who shaped the history of the Wild West. From the famous, such as Billy the Kid and the Wild Bunch, to the lesser-known but still colorful and wicked Charles Brown and Bud Stevens, it compiles the stories of the most notorious black-hat wearers of a notorious age. Here are just some of the fascinating and forbidding faces you'll meet: Bud Stevens, whose murder of a cattle king's son rang a death knell for an entire South Dakota town William Quantrill, the terror of Civil War-era Missouri Legendary bandits Frank and Jesse James Cold-blooded Sam Brown, who sneered while cutting out a man's heart but screamed in terror when the tables turned Jack Slade, who was such an enigma across much of the West--a composite of gentleman and murderer--that he charmed both Mark Twain and Buffalo Bill.…

These are the stories of what happened in the West as the trickle then flood of Easterners and immigrants first began to flow into the plains, deserts, and mountains between the Pacific Ocean and the Mississippi River and, finally, far north into The Last Frontier. While some events would have happened regardless who was there?earthquakes, storms, droughts, and other natural disasters?it was because of this influx of humanity that those events were recorded and have become part of America?s history.…
