The listing, Outlaws & Lawmen of the West-paperback has ended.
Western American History. Pictorial. The Wild West was a place where gritty, unshaven, pistol-twirling outlaws, born with a taste for dirt and danger, could leap on a horse or get from a galloping steed onto a speeding train without loss of limb or life. After the discovery of gold in California and parts north, and the Civil War, the West became home to settlers, gold seekers and entrepreneurs, as well as highwaymen, killers and outlaws keen to make a quick buck and stay out of reach of the long arm of the law.
