Lampasas merchants learned to rely upon an annual...

Getting Away with Murder on the Texas Frontier: Notorious Killings and Celebrated Trials

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?

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...

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...

Nothing is more dramatic than life and death conflict, and the image of men in big hats and boots brandishing six-shooters and Winchesters has been portrayed in countless Western novels, movies, and television shows.
