Barbed wire is made of two strands of galvanized steel wire twisted together for strength and to hold sharp barbs in place.

In The Perfect Fence, Lyn Ellen Bennett and Scott Abbott explore the multiple uses and meanings of barbed wire, a...

Tall Tales and Half Truths of Billy the Kid
ISBN: 9781540214027 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While many lionize Billy the Kid, the man who killed him, Sheriff Patrick Floyd Garrett, has a rarely told but riveting true story all his own.

Some say that Garrett faked the details the night the Kid was brought to ultimate justice, while others swear another wannabe hero did him in. In perfect irony, Garrett s own 1908 death is shrouded in mystery. Some report he died by the...
