West of Hell: The Badmen, Hardcases & Intrepid Lawmen Who Made the West Wild - Paperback

by Erik J. Wright (Author)

Award-winning historian Erik Wright has, for the first time, compiled a selection of his articles and essays. West of Hell looks to the violence of the American frontier and examines such notable figures as Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Geronimo, and Wild Bill Hickok while also exploring those figures whose stories still remain out of the public eye like Thomas Mulqueen, Mickey Free, and Patrick Gass.These authoritative works have previously appeared in such publications as True West magazine, Wild West magazine, the Journal of the West, The Tombstone Epitaph and the Journal of the Wild West History Association. Now, both casual readers and serious students of frontier history and western violence can access these true-to-life stories in one easily accessible and richly-illustrated volume.
