About this ebook
True stories of real-life heroes and villains of the Old West, from Bucky O’Neill to Billy the Kid.
Get to know some of the most legendary lawmen and notorious troublemakers of the American West with these accounts of an era when sheriffs did their best to keep order in a lawless land.
Included are tales of range rider Tom Horn, who lived by the gun but died by the rope; the “Apache Kid,” a Native American who went from army scout to renegade fighter; and many more. You’re in for a wild ride—including a detour to the famous frontier, Dodge City—with these stories of heroes, antiheroes, and the people who tried to gun them down.
In Famous Sheriffs and Western Outlaws, William MacLeod Raine recalls standoffs, shootouts, rowdy saloons, brave men who protected the innocent, and bad guys who put the “wild” in Wild West.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Raine published these essays over a 26 year period (1903-1929) in which he tried to chronicle the history of the American west and its heroes and badmen. In some cases he claims to have actually sat down with the individual to hear his story first hand.He wrote whole chapters on Tom Horn, John Wesley Hardin and the Apache Kid. Other famous individuals covered in chapters organized by theme included Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, John Slaughter, Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson and Biily Bonney. One chapter explains the history of Spanish Land Grants that have been the basis for many western movie and novel.While not the easiest writing style for the modern reader and what I feel is limited research in some cases, this does give the fan of the history of the west background on some of the important individuals and incidents of the period.
