Western Sheriffs and Marshals (reprint edition)

Thomas Penfield

The dramatic stories of the men whose guns brought law to the Old West … A sizeable round-up of biographical sketches of famous sheriffs, United States marshals and town marshals who made their marks in western history comes from an enthusiastic student who has covered his subject with a good sense of the drama involved. Included among the 21 entries are the ones who need no introduction-Wyatt Earp, Hickok, Pat Garret who slew Billy the Kid-as well as lesser knowns like Tom Smith who went in to tame Abilene where all others had failed and the notorious Henry Plummer who roused Nevadans to oust him from an office he used for personal gain. Good introductions orient readers as to Western history and life and the duties of the men who had to keep the peace. (Kirkus Reviews)
