During the 1890s and past the turn of the century, the land of the Five Civilized Tribes (roughly the eastern half of present day Oklahoma, known as the Indian Territory) was a volcanic society ravaged by murder, rape, robbery, whiskey peddling and stock thievery. Into this miasma of crime strode James Franklin Ledbetter as a deputy United States marshal, wielding a Colt revolver and a Winchester rifle with which he could shoot the lobe off a man's ear and never put a mark on his jaw. Glenn Shirley, an award-winning author, is an authority on the American West, especially law and order in the...

ISBN: 9781940130187 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The nation's greatest manhunt began the morning of January 3, 1951, with the routine investigation of an abandoned car, mired in the mud near Tulsa, Oklahoma. A quick glance into the interior of the car revealed evidence of one of the most shocking crimes in U.S. history-the brutal, senseless murder of an entire family. In the twelve days that followed, 2,000 peace officers trailed a gun-crazy, mad-dog terrorist through fourteen states and Mexico, uncovering in his wake six murders and as many kidnappings, This is the true story of William (Billy) E. Cook, whose orgy of violence overshadowed...

When the remaining Indian lands of Old Oklahoma were made available for settlement in a series of openings beginning in 1889, thousands of people flocked to the region to try for a homestead. It was a grand chance for a new life. Unfortunately, ahead of, with, and after the homeseekers came the dregs of human society: those who would steal, kill-do anything to avoid working for even the necessities of life. Most of these outlaws operated across the imaginary border between Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory-called Hell's Fringe by the early U.S. deputy marshals. At first the felons...

The Fighting Marlows: Men Who Wouldn't Be Lynched
ISBN: 9780875654041 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many people in northern Texas and southwestern Oklahoma still believe that the Marlow brothers--George, Charles, Alf, and Epp--were thieves and killers. In 1888 they were charged with rustling and murder, tried by public opinion, and betrayed by law officials responsible for their safety. After Alf and Epp were killed in a brutal ambush, Charles and George accomplished a grisly escape, only to be caught and sent to Dallas for trial where, for their own protection, they were deputized as marshals.
Their story, as lurid and adventuresome as any western saga, documents late... Many people in northern Texas and southwestern Oklahoma still believe that the Marlow brothers--George, Charles, Alf, and Epp--were thieves and killer...
