Description
Acclaimed author James Reasoner here proves that truth really can be more exciting than fiction. Known for his ability to make history come vividly to life, Reasoner strips away the dime novel legends and Hollywood myths to show us how the gunfighters of the Old West really lived, killed - and were killed. Featuring such unforgettable characters as Doc Holliday, the Notorious John Wesley Hardin, Wild Bill, the Doolin Bunch, the Sam Bass Gang and the man who killed the man who killed Jesse James, these are the shootouts and show-downs that gave the Wild West its name.
