In this book about some of the most intriguing historical characters in all the West, author Larry Brown introduces us to such folks as Lou Polk and
Dell Burke, soiled doves who not only survived but prospered; Ella
"Cattle Kate" Watson who, due to the greed of others, danced to her
death at the end of a rope; novelist Owen Wister; suffragette and
historian Grace Raymond Hebard; artist Juan Menchaca; world champion
saddle bronc rider Jackson Sundown; Wild West hero "Buffalo Bill"
Cody, and many more.
"I'm a huge fan of Larry Brown's twisted sense of humor (see all of his book titles). He makes history fun and he gets it right. What else could you posssibly want?"-- Bob Boze Bell, Executive Editor, True West magazine
