I've had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Bill O'Neal, the current State Historian of Texas, speak at a couple of presentations regarding cowboys and outlaws of Texas. This publication about the most famous gunslingers of Texas is a great example of what history and reading pleasure can had by reading one of Mr. O'Neal's books. If you see his name on the spine, take a read. Well worth the time. You might write email: sales @arcadiapublishing.com if you're interesting and can't find a copy.

HTML: Images of America: Texas Gunslingers presents the concept of Texas as the Gunfighter Capital of the West. Indeed, after the cowboyâ??a Texas creationâ??the most colorful and romanticized frontier figure is the gunfighter. Nothing is more dramatic than life and death conflict, and the image of men in big hats and boots brandishing six-shooters and Winchesters has been portrayed in countless Western novels, movies, and television shows. Texas made an enormous contribution to gunfighter lore. Texas Rangers were responsible for the evolution of Sam Colt's revolving pistol, key weapon of gunfighters. More shoot-outs occurred in Texas than in any other state or territory. More gunfighters were from Texas, including kill-crazy Wes Hardin and Killin' Jim Miller, the West's premier assassin. There were more blood feuds in Texas than in any other state. Frequently, gunplay erupted in towns such as Tascosa, El Paso, Fort Worth, and Lampasas, where four lawmen were killed in an 1873 saloon battle Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
