"From the New York Times bestselling aouthor of The Big Rich and Forget the Alamo comes an epic reconsideration of the time and place that spawned America's most legendary gunfighters, from Jesse James and Billy the Kid to Butch and Sundance. The Wild West gunfighter is such a stock figure in our popular culture that some dismiss it as a corny myth, more a product of dime novels and B movies than a genuinely important American history. In fact, as Bryan Burrough shows us in his dazzling and fast-paced new book, there's much more below the surace. For three decades at the end of the 1800s, a big swath of the American West was a crucible of change -- with the hughest murder rate per capita in American history. The reasons behind this boil down to one word: Texas. Southern dueling culture, a crucial ingredient of the gunfighter era, transformed into something wilder and less organized as it traveled west. Texas had already been born in violence, on two fronts, with Mexico to the south and the Comanche to the north. The collapse of the Confederacy and the presence of a thin veneer of northern occupiers turned the heat up further. And the explosion in the cattle business after the war took that violence and pumped it out across the whole of the West. The stampede of longhorn cattle brought with it an assortment of rustlers, hustlers, gamblers, and freelance lawmen who carried a trigger-happy honor culture into a widening gyre, a veritable blood meridian. When the first newspapermen and audiences discovered what good copy this was, the flywheel of mythmaking started spinning. It's never stopped. The Gunfighters brilliantly sifts the lies from the truth, giving both elements their due. And the truth is sufficiently wild for any but the most unhinged tastes. All the legendary figures are here, and their escapades are told with great flair -- good, bad, and ugly. Like all great stories, this one has a rousing end -- as the railroads and the settlers close off the open spaces for good, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the last of their breed, really do get on a boat for South America, ending their era in a blaze of glory. Burrough knits these histories together into something much deeper and more provocative than simply the sum of its parts. To understand the truth of the Wild West is to understand a crucial dimension of the American story." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Lagin, Daniel (book design); Ward, Jeffrey L.
