The Old West may have faded from living memory but the actual locations where the robberies and shoot-outs took place can still be found over one hundred years later. In the pages of ‘On the Trail of the Old West Then and Now’ we glimpse the past through contemporary newspaper reports, illustrated with comparison ‘then and now’ photographs. Here are towns like Dodge City and Tombstone and the stories of the clashes between lawmen and the badmen, with grim details of lawlessness, violence, and harsh frontier justice meted out by vigilante committees, to recall a timeless era of American history – ‘the Wild West!’ AUTHOR: Former owner of After the Battle and founder of the parent company Battle of Britain International Ltd, Winston Ramsey has dedicated most of his life to producing books and magazines of the highest quality and content. He started the company while running his family printing business when he was just 18 and has since gone on to produce over 260 magazines and close to 100 books, some with his wife Gail, which are mostly military themed and some non-military. These books mostly have the ‘Then and Now’ theme synonymous with After the Battle titles. Winston finally retired in October 2021 at the age of 81.
