Who could be a better choice to look back on the gunfighters of the Old West than one of their number who had actually managed to survive the others - "Bat" Masterson himself. He had had a career as Buffalo Hunter, Peace Officer, professional Gambler & inhabitant of notorious places like Dodge City & Leadville. Retired now, a journalist & sports correspondent, he was able to reveal his judgements without fear or favour.
This slim volume is made up from his famous articles in "Human Life" on the greats of the Gunfighter era & might surprise you if you didn't know it beforehand. I suspect that he is biased in favour of his particular friends, but still, you have to respect the judgement of a man who knew his subjects personally in their heydays.

Famous Gunfighters of the Western Frontier
25 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It's a fast read, and a worthwhile read. Some may find my rating generous, but while the writing is adequate, the information is interesting albeit brief. As it's written by Bat Masterson, it's written in the style of the newspapers of the day; not a bad thing. Bottom line, read it, you will enjoy it if you enjoy the Old West as I do.

Interesting Little Book
14 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I liked this book. The only negative is it is quite short. The stories were intriguing. Also, it tells the truth about some of these guys being real scoundrels. Such as Doc Holiday gunning down two black people just because they were in a swimming hole he had declared off limits to blacks.
