Most of the summer visitors camped for weeks in shady groves beside the springs-enjoying such simple recreations as visiting, singing, communal meals, and preaching services-while children swam and played in large gangs. Lampasas merchants learned to rely upon an annual...

Getting Away with Murder on the Texas Frontier: Notorious Killings and Celebrated Trials
ISBN: 9780896726512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1916, in the tiny West Texas town of Benjamin, a gunman slips into a courtroom and murders the defendant. In 1912, in Fort Worth s finest hotel, a young man kills an old gentleman in cold blood in the middle of the lobby. The verdict in both of these murderers trials? Not guilty. The explanation? This is Texas. Laws passed by politicians in far-off Austin meant little to Westerners living on the Texas frontier. Sagebrush justice relied less on written statutes than on common sense, grass-roots fairness, and vague notions of folk law drawn from the Old South s Victorian code of chivalry and...

From Guns to Gavels: How Justice Grew Up in the Outlaw West
ISBN: 9780896726376 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When a thirteen-year-old boy strikes out on his own in 1885, leaving his Civil War ravaged Mississippi homeland for the wild Red River borderland between North Texas and Indian Territory, the American West is a land beyond the reach of the law.

But by the time the young man now a veteran outlaw dies by the gun in 1929 after a tempestuous career, the Old West has been largely tamed, its official legal systems firmly in place. In this companion volume...

Border Queen Caldwell: Toughest Town on the Chisholm Trail
ISBN: 9781934645666 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Wild West thrived for more than two decades in Caldwell, Kansas. Throughout the 1870s Caldwell was a lawless, unincorporated village astride the storied Chisholm Trail. Located just north of the Kansas state line, the Border Queen was the first semblance of a town seen by drovers after long weeks of shoving their herds through Indian Territory. 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...

Images of America: Texas Gunslingers presents the concept of Texas as the Gunfighter Capital of the West.

Vengeance Is Mine: The Scandalous Love Triangle That Triggered the Boyce-Sneed Feud
ISBN: 9781574413175 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Almost half a century after the Boyce-Sneed feud in West Texas erupted in bloodshed in 1912, two Texas historians attempted to write about the affair. But no one would talk to them. Lewis Nordyke abandoned the idea, and C. L. Sonnichsen, another chronicler of Texas feuds, wrote that it was "too soon to talk about the Boyce-Sneed affair." Not until the 1990s did the whole story emerge, when descendants of the feuding families finally called a truce, opened the family archives, and shared family legends. And what a tale it proved to be--a classic saga of passion, violence, and revenge, of...
