Ferman and Price track such offshoots of civilization as gunfighting, cattle rustling, bank robbery, and high- and low-profile murder, with plentiful restorations of historic comic-book stories (often restored from their original artwork) including extravagant exaggerations of such cases as the Depression Era rampage of Bonnie Parker & Clyde Barrow and colorful episodes ranging from true-to-life re-enactments to the Shaggy Dog tall tales that come with the territory in Texas' storytelling tradition. A whopping 334 pages -- and hey, it's got pictures...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Convict. Detective. Lawman. On the wild American frontier, no man’s path is straight and narrow, and Jonas V. Brighton’s is no exception. Like many Western lawmen—even those with names like Earp and Hickock—he hails from hardscrabble roots and does what he has to in order to survive… even if it means breaking the rules from time to time. When he lands in a Kansas prison due to two horse-theiving friends, though, he has plenty of time to think about his future. Following his release, Brighton encounters Jennie Hudson, a beautiful and feisty young private detective working for the local police. Sparks fly, and they soon embark on a wild and wooly partnership as both detectives and lovers. Their cases together make national headlines, only not the kind that are good for business. Mired in controversy, they go their separate ways. Armed with his newfound experience, Brighton strikes out on his own. He ends up in Texas, where his reputation for undercover work and accuracy with a gun lands him a new job as a stock detective. Teamed with an old hand named Wes Wilson to learn the ropes, they're a duo tougher than boot leather, ridin' high and ridin' proud, ridin' down rustlers and pulling each other from the jaws of death more times than you can shake a stick at. A gritty Western tale inspired by the real-life adventures of the lawman who would go on to shout down infamous outlaw Ike Clanton of Tombstone fame, Rawhide Jake: Learning the Ropes is as real and authentic as you can get.

Book excerpt: A chronicle of sixteen ruthless killings from Lone Star history and the dirty details that have shocked and bewildered Texans for decades. Texas has long boasted of its iron fist and strict treatment of criminals. Nevertheless, a number of homicidal scoundrels and fiends have slipped through the state’s justice system despite even the best efforts of the legendary Texas Rangers. In 1877, Texas saw its first high-profile murder case with the slaying of a woman in Jefferson and the subsequent “Diamond Bessie” trial. More than a century later, state legislator Price Daniel Jr., was shot in cold blood by his wife at their home in Liberty, TX. True crime writer and historian Bartee Haile unburies these and other stories from Texas’s murderous past. With these stories and more—from senseless roadside murders to political assassinations—discover the seedy underbelly of the Lone Star State’s murderous past.
