Download or read book Lawman written by John Boessenecker and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry Morse - gunfighter, manhunter, sleuth - was among the West's most famous lawmen. Elected sheriff of Alameda County, California, in 1864, he went on to become San Francisco's foremost private detective. His career spanned five decades. In this biography, John Boessenecker brings Morse's now-forgotten story to light, chronicling not only the lawman's remarkable adventures but also the turbulent times in which he lived. Armed only with raw courage and a Colt revolver, Morse squared off against a small army of desperadoes and beat them at their own game. He shot to death the notorious bandidos Narato Ponce and Juan Soto, outgunned the vicious Narciso Bojorques, and pursued the Tiburcio Vasquez gang for two months in one of the West's longest and most tenacious manhunts. Later, Morse captured Black Bart, America's greatest stagecoach robber. Fortunately, Harry Morse loved to tell of his feats. Drawing on Morse's diaries, memoirs, and correspondence, Boessenecker weaves the lawman's colorful accounts into his narrative. Rare photographs of outlaws and lawmen and of the sites of Morse's exploits further enliven the story. A significant contribution to both western history and the history of law enforcement, Lawman is also an in-depth treatment of Hispanic crime and its causes, immigration, racial prejudice, and police brutality - issues with which California, and the nation, still grapple today.

Book excerpt: Bill Pearson fought in the civil war for the Union. His sense of what was right brought him that decision. Raised in Kentucky and Missouri he continued his quest for righteousness, moving west where he eventually became a lawman. Along with his best friend Lee Johnson, they tested besting the powerful Williams Gang in Wyoming. A deputy was lost and the prospects were hopeless. Perhaps exhibiting a lack of confidence, they pair moved on to Arizona where they met up with another Civil War friend, Rod Jones, and once again pinned on badges. The ensuing years provided an exciting, fast paced life filled with typical badman/lawman adventures. Settling conflicts among ranchers and fronting a compromise with the Southern Pacific Railroad, while chasing two notorious outlaws, Pony Lincoln and Pony Martin, and suffering wounds and pneumonia, take their toll on the marshal. But, losing Lee Johnson to Lincoln causes Pearson to abandon his law enforcement days and head further west. Leaving his remaining deputies in Arizona, the former marshal takes up horse ranching near San Diego. Bill Pearson is essentially a happily married rancher until the past comes calling.
