Synopsis

First published as magazine articles in 1907, this illustrated collection brings together a series of mini-biographies that explore well-known figures of the Western frontier, including Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Luke Short, Bill Tilghman and Ben Thompson. Masterson’s accounts draw out telling details and build a picture of an Old West shaped by sharpshooters, cattle rustlers and the hard edge of Dodge City justice.

With its emphasis on history and adventure, it suits readers interested in classic Western non-fiction and short biographical sketches.
