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.

Download or read book Jackson Hole written by Mr. Scott Morris and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The broad valley of Jackson Hole and the ridges and slopes around what would become Jackson, Wyoming, had long been a crossroads to the region's Indigenous peoples when fur trappers arrived in the early decades of the 19th century and made Jackson Hole a lynchpin of their continental commerce. Many came and went, but some stayed, with a settlement taking form near the banks of Flat Creek at the base of East Gros Ventre Butte. Small-scale cattle ranching formed the first economic base of this frontier town, but before long, the valley's incomparable elk herds drew market hunters, game wardens, and hunting guides. Jackson became a ski town with turn-of-the-20th-century cross-country skiing, the 1920s and 1930s development of Mount Snow King, and the 1960s opening of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. These years saw the development of an authentic Western skiing culture and demonstrated Jackson's pivot from sleepy frontier town to major logistical hub for recreational visitors. Two beloved national parks just to the north added to the flow of visitors as postwar prosperity funded new road trips and mountain vacations.

Download or read book Lesser Known Outlaws of Wyoming written by Peter Netzel and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LESSER KNOWN OUTLAWS OF WYOMING by Peter Netzel A gang, led by "Big Nose" George Parrott, attempted to rob a train by Medicine Bow, in southern Wyoming, in 1878. The attempt was foiled by a railroad worker who discovered the damaged track in time. The initial manhunt resulted in the ambush and murder of two deputies, Robert Widdowfield and Tip Vincent, men well-liked by all who knew them. Posses were formed and intense efforts began to capture the treacherous outlaws, who included: "Big Nose" George Parrott, Dutch Charley Burris, Frank Towle, Sim Wan, Reddy McKimie, Tom Reed, Jack "Sandy" Campbell, Culley McDonald, and John Erwin. Vivid details of the events are brought to life by the addition of old news articles from the times. These are the stories of the attempted Medicine Bow train robbery in 1878; the double-murder of 2 deputies; and the fate of the very bad men who were responsible. Many of them were lynched by angry citizens. This book will take you on the journey of Big Nose George Parrott and four of his later gang associates: Dutch Charley Burris, Frank Towle, Reddy McKimie, John Erwin, and Sim Wan. Their outlaw exploits were notorious at the time. And, their lives were shortened, often brutally, by angry citizens and lawmen. George had a fondness for Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains. He and his gang returned there after many a robbery to hide out. In 1878, Parrott met up with other outlaws, one of whom was "Dutch Charley" Buress, in Rawlins, Wyoming. The group decided to rob a train near Medicine Bow Station. Big Nose George kept watch while the others attempted to damage the track in order to stop the train. Before they got very far with their tampering, a Union Pacific railroad worker came around a bend pumping a hand car. Thus began a series of events that would leave two deputies killed and massive manhunts for the gang members. Although all of them escaped, most of them ended up being lynched, imprisoned, or murdered. This book, LESSER KNOWN OUTLAWS OF WYOMING, contains many old newspaper articles, which will take you back in time; you will ride alongside the desperadoes and the lawmen; you will hear the angry voices and view the lynchings, and all the vivid details of the events surrounding this story.

Book excerpt: All his life Shane Lassiter had revered the man who stood in place of the father he had never known. Nathaniel Wilcock had taken Shane into his own home, loved him as a son, and placed within his grasp one of the largest ranches in the Wyoming Territory.But Shane had heard the stories. He knew the whispers about the fugitive gunman who stood against Wilcock during the land wars that had rocked the valley almost thirty years ago. In Nathaniel Wilcock?s eyes, the gunman was nothing better than a vigilante and an outlaw, and as such he had died. To the people of Hangtree, he was a hero?a martyr who had stood against corrupt power and injustice. When Wilcock?s greed moves him against the only woman Shane has ever loved?a woman who holds the secret that could resurrect everything for which the outlaw fought?Shane finds himself forced into a place not so very different from that of the outlaw thirty years ago. He must make a decision, the shadow of which will forever be cast over the lives of all those he loves. It is a decision between truth and power?between honor and life?between right and wrong.

Download or read book Calamity Jane and Her Siblings The Saga of Lena and Elijah Canary written by Jan Cerney and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mere mention of Calamity Jane conjures up images of buckskins, bull whips and dance halls, but there's more to the woman than the storied legend she became. Born Martha Canary, she was orphaned as a child and assumed the responsibility of caring for her siblings. Much too young and ambitious to rear a family, she found homes for all. After setting off on her own, Martha tried to reconnect with her fractured family in her typical haphazard fashion, all the while transforming into Calamity Jane. Soon, her own foibles and her siblings' choices rendered the attempt futile. From brother Elijah's horse thieving to sister Lena's denial of Martha's tales, author Jan Cerney uncovers the tumultuous Canary family often overlooked in the Calamity canon.
