Many Westerners hunted wild game to feed themselves and their families. Outlaws used their guns for evil reasons-to rob banks and trains, and to murder people. But lawmen used their guns to stop outlaws.
The struggle between lawmen and outlaws was a battle between good and evil. It was a life and death struggle that took place in towns like Tombstone and Dodge City. But the forces of law and order finally won, and the West was tamed. Profiles include... In the West during the late 1800s, guns were tools-as good or as bad as the men who used them.

The raucous trail town offered whiskey and women to legions of dusty cowboys, while inevitably becoming the site of shootouts and lynchings. In 1880 railroad tracks reached Caldwell, and the Border Queen boomed as the last railhead on the Chisholm...

From the 1880s until after World War I, Texas prosecutions for adultery, fornication, rape, seduction, and sodomy were many, but formal penal code seemed much too merciful to suit most southerners, who believed in direct and personal redress of such wrongs.

In each account...
