Product Description

James Reasoner has been praised for his well-researched and lively, suspenseful novels. Now, he proves that truth can be even 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. Among the true stories he brings us:

€ Doc Holliday's Last Gunfight € The Last Dalton Raid € The End of the Notorious John Wesley Hardin € Wild Bill's Tragic Mistake € The End of an Earp € Gunfight at Stone Corral € The Doolin Bunch vs. the U.S. Marshals € Rourke's Bad Luck Robbery € Shoot-out at the Tuttle Dance Hall € Wichita's New Year's Day Gunfight € Bat Masterson and the Battle of the Plaza € The Sam Bass Gang's Luck Runs Out € The Long Branch Saloon's Spectacular Fray € Ben Thompson and the Vaudeville Ambush € The Man Who Killed the Man Who Killed Jesse James

These are the shootouts and showdowns that gave the Wild West its name...recounted here with gritty accuracy, colorful detail, and all the drama of life-and death-on the frontier.

Synopsis

A vivid portrait of the lives and deaths of the great gunfighters of the Old West offers gritty, colorful, and accurate renderings of such confrontations as Bat Masterson and the Battle of the Plaza, Doc Holliday's Last Gunfight, the Last Dalton Raid, Wild Bill's Tragic Mistake, and many more. Original.

HOW THE WEST WAS WON ..... REALLY ....... 31 May 2006

By war movie hunter

Format:Paperback

This book is great if like me you wanted to learn about the real gunfights from the old west and the men that took part in them , for me the most important thing about this book is it does not just dwell on the really well known gunfights and gunfighters but also some you may not of heard about . i wanted a book with farely small chapters dealing with individual stories and characters but with more emphasis on the lesser known characters and incidents not just famous ones and more of them , and this book provided me with what i wanted . it gives you enough detail and interest to allow you to enjoy the accounts , but manages to cram an awful lot of them in at the same time . it has made me want to delve futher into the general subject , and has introduced me to many new characters and incidents to research and read about further , and this is why i would recommend it , as a starter book in the subject it is excellent and a great stepping stone to inspire you to read further into this turbulent and fascinating period of history .

Gunfights 14 May 2009

By Old Driver.

Format:Paperback

For those interested in the history of the "Wild West" this book is useful, in that, it covers gunfights and gunfighters not normally covered by many other books on this subject.
