Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of Canadians headed out to the American Old West in the 19th Century. Gunsmoke and Lead tells the exciting story of the adventures of nine Canadian born men and one woman who either pinned on a lawman's badge or became an outlaw in the Wild West. The lawmen: Bat Masterson, made famous in novels and the silver screen, was a western lawman who had many adventures keeping the peace; Seth Bullock, also made famous in film, who became the wild gold town of Deadwood's first legal lawman, and James Colter, a tough lumberman, who briefly became an Arizona lawman. The outlaws: Rattlesnake Dick Barter who became a bandit during the California gold rush; Jules Beni who tried to cheat the Overland Stage and soon ran afoul of gunfighter Jack Slade; the Stewart brothers who kept bad company and soon faced a hangman's noose; Bill White, a conman who feared he would be hanged; Tom Nixon who briefly rode with Sam Bass; Flat Nose George Currie who became "King of the Wyoming Rustlers"; and finally Pearl Hart the "Lady Bandit".

Book excerpt: Short-listed for the 2007 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Non-Fiction They were among Canada’s most desperate criminals, yet their names have been all but forgotten in the annals of history - until now!

The Markham Gang introduced Canada West to organized crime long before anyone had heard of the Mafia. Lew Bevis took on the whole Halifax Police Department in a blazing gun battle. The wild Macdonald cousins went to Michigan, where they ended their violent careers as victims of a savage lynching. Reid and Davis, the notorious Border Bandits of the Roaring Twenties, were the nightmare of every banker from Manitoba to the state of Washington. This rogues’ gallery of killers, robbers, and men of mystery shocked the nation, challenged the forces of law and order, and sometimes even got away with it.
Download or read book Encyclopedia Of Western Lawmen and Outlaws written by Jay Robert Nash and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 1994-08-22 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 1000 entries and 400 illustrations, this volume is the most fact-packed history of the West ever assembled. Crime historian extraordinaire Jay Robert Nash has left no stone unturned in his search for the gunmen, train robbers, gangs, desperadoes, range warriors, gamblers, and lawmen that roamed the frontier. Contrary to popular myth, the Wild West was not a glamorous land where chivalry and courage were the custom and a man died with his boots on. It was a land of incredible hardships—brutal weather, hunger and disease, and the constant threat of violent death. Everyone carried a six-shooter, neutrality was impossible, and violence unavoidable; lawmen and outlaws lived side by side, and often there was no telling one from the other. Into this land came pioneers lured by promises of great fortunes, ex-Confederate soldiers embittered by the outcome of the war, greedy cattle barons, and merchant princes. It was truly an explosive mixture.Included in this volume are all the great Western legends—Billy the Kid, Jesse and Frank James, Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Judge Roy Bean, ”Wild Bill” Hickock—and a host of lesser-known figures who, though they may have missed notoriety, were equally lethal. And while the West was very much a man's world, several women managed to shoot, steal, or gamble their way to fame—including Belle Starr, Pearl Hart, and Calamity Jane.A compelling read, Encyclopedia of Western Lawmen & Outlaws will be the standard reference for years to come. In addition to alphabetical listings, it offers a glossary of lawmen and a glossary of outlaws, a magnificent photo and illustration appendix, and an extensive bibliography of books on the American West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the Canadian prairies were first settled and the Mounties marched west to establish and maintain law and order, the names of individual officers have left their mark on the national landscape. Their long tradition has been honoured in many of the place names of Canada, especially in the West. In this collection, over 250 of the NWMP, RNWMP and RCMP members who died while on duty, or who enjoyed long or extraordinary careers, are remembered. Other place names are connected to a Mountie-related event or were named by a pioneering Mountie in honour of some significant occurrence. Authors William "Bill" Hulgaard and John "Jack" White, both retired Mounties, extended their research across Canada to compile the information for Honoured in Places.
