Download or read book Outlaw written by Charles Leland Sonnichsen and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "C. L. Sonnichsen's "grass-roots" history here pays off in one of the most interesting contributions ever made to the story of frontier life. The author had treated the Mitchell-Truit feud in his "Ten Texas feuds" but found this story particularly interesting. For years he continued his investigations through dozens and dozens of personal interviews so that he could piece the story together in full and in detail. The result is a book about how it was to be that relatively common person of the American West - the outlaw, hiding for years under alias but trying to live a family life. The feud which developed between the friendly Mitchell and Truit families suddenly erupted into violence and killing on a road in Mitchell's Bend. Then followed trials, the death of a teen-age boy, and the hanging of Cooney Mitchell - and the avenging murder of James Truit by Bill Mitchell. For thirty years after the murder, Bill Mitchell, alias Baldy Russell, lived the life of an outlaw in Texas and New Mexico. He married, reared a family, had friends but few neighbors, constantly prepared for the time he knew would come. When it came, his capture was swift and ingenious. Then came years of trials, jails, prison and "escape," a continuing running from the law until his death. In putting down this one full account of an outlaw, C. L. Sonnichsen has achieved an outstanding contribution to Americana. The book is enriched by many pictures from private sources."
Download or read book Outlaw Tales of the Old West Fifty True Stories of Desperados Crooks Criminals and Bandits written by Erin H. Turner and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of fifty outlaw tales includes well-knowns such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Frank and Jesse James, Belle Starr (and her dad), and Pancho Villa, along with a fair smattering of women, organized crime bosses, smugglers, and of course the usual suspects: highwaymen, bank and train robbers, cattle rustlers, snake-oil salesmen, and horse thieves. Men like Henry Brown and Burt Alvord worked on both sides of the law either at different times of their lives or simultaneously. Clever shyster Soapy Smith and murderer Martin Couk survived by their wits, while the outlaw careers of the dimwitted DeAutremont brothers and bigmouthed Diamondfield Jack were severely limited by their intellect, or lack thereof. Nearly everyone in these pages was motivated by greed, revenge, or a lethal mixture of the two. The most bloodthirsty of the bunch, such as the heartless (and, some might argue, soulless) Annie Cook and trigger-happy Augustine Chacón, surely had evil written into their very DNA.

Book excerpt: Ash and Grant got themselves into a whole load of magical trouble when they accidentally set fire to Merlin's office and destroyed many items of historical significance. Merlin tasked them to go back in time and retrieve each of the artifacts they destroyed. This time out, they've got their work cut out for them when Merlin sends them back to 1899, at the tail end of the wild, wild West. Their mission is to find none other than the infamous outlaw Butch Cassidy, and somehow get their hands on something near and dear to Butch's heart - his Colt .45.To do this, they must become outlaws themselves, and join up with Butch's gang, the Wild Ones. They swiftly find out the real wild and woolly west is more stinky and dangerous than it is on any television show they'd ever seen. Not even Ash and Grant are sure they can pull off living on the wrong side of the law, especially during a time when justice was often served with a bullet, and the life expectancy for outlaws was notoriously short.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frank and Jesse James, the infamous brothers from Missouri, rode with marauding Confederate guerrillas during the Civil War. Having learned to kill and raid without compunction, they easily transitioned from rebels to outlaws after the war, robbing stagecoaches, banks and trains in Missouri and surrounding states. It was a botched bank robbery in Northfield, Minnesota, followed by an improbable escape through the Dakota Territory and Iowa, that elevated the James brothers from notorious criminals to legendary figures of American history and folklore.

Download or read book Red Cloud and the Indian Trader written by Marilyn Dear Nelson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John William Dear was born in 1845 into a close-knit farming family in Northern Virginia. After the Civil War, when he fought as a Confederate soldier with Mosby's Rangers, he went West. For fifteen years, until his premature death, Dear lived a tumultuous life in the West as one of the last fur traders on the Upper Missouri and as the longest serving, government-appointed Indian Trader to Red Cloud's Sioux. But misfortune struck time and again: he was stripped of his lucrative tradership by a corrupt Commissioner of Indian Affairs and a former Governor of Nebraska and he lost his trading business when the President changed the border between Dakota Territory and Nebraska to prevent JW from trading with his Indian clientele. His is an authentic Wild West story, true and tragic. In the summer of 1871 JW met Red Cloud, the powerful leader of the Oglala who at that time was probably the most respected Indian chief in America. For the next twelve years the two men lived alongside each other on the vast Northern Plains. This was one of the most turbulent, violent, and controversial periods in the history of the American West. The end of the Civil War saw tens of thousands of emigrants brave the 2,000-mile journey across Indian territory in search of a better life in California and Oregon. It saw the coming of the trans-continental railroad across Indian land; the wanton slaughter of millions of buffalo the Indians depended upon for survival; the end of the fur trade; the emergence of cattle barons and open range ranching; the discovery of gold in the Black Hills of Dakota; the Great Sioux War of 1876; Custer’s last stand at the Battle of Little Bighorn; and the forcing of the Lakota onto reservations. This book is about two men caught up in these momentous events—Red Cloud, whose life has been well researched, and JW Dear, whose story has never been told. It is a story about the opening-up of the West and the process of nation building, driven by great vision, sacrifice, and human endeavor. But it is also a story of mismanagement, avarice, corruption, bigotry, extreme violence, and injustice. It is a very personal story of how Red Cloud and JW became caught up in these life-changing events, which bound the two men together as they fought for their survival. The book covers twenty-five tumultuous years of American history that includes the Civil War, the abolition of slavery, the opening up of the West, and the forcing of the Lakota onto reservations.
Download or read book The Genesis of Nineteenth Century Civil Codes in the United States written by Julie Rocheton and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-03-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting in Louisiana in the early nineteenth century, this book takes the reader on a journey through the USA and the development of their civil codes. From Georgia and New York, civil codes traveled to California and Dakota Territory; in the Great Plains, they made their way to Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota by the end of the century. Unveiling the history of nineteenth-century civil codes in the USA, this book examines their origin stories, circulation, and usage by focusing on the social-historical context of their drafting and legal concepts. “Rocheton's work, published four decades after Cook's book on ‘The American Codification Movement,’ contains an exhaustive and insightful analysis of nineteenth-century civil codes. It thoroughly discusses their context, how they were conceived, discussed, drafted and approved, their main foreign influences and content, and their practical operation." - Aniceto Masferrer, University of Valencia “While there is a vast corpus of literature on codification and, more specifically, civil codes in the civil law tradition, it is much less known that six US states codified their private laws during the 19th century. This book tells the fascinating story. Spoiler alert: it’s a family affair.” - Stefan Vogenauer, Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory
