Gamblers, Guns, & Gavels: Collected Works on Arizona Gambling Violence

By Erik J Wright

From the foreword by Tombstone historian Peter Brand:
"This book represents his author's] first collection of articles, dealing with frontier gamblers, murder, jail breaks and rough justice. Primarily dealing with the lives of four Tucson gamblers and a gang of cut-throat opportunists, these articles provide previously unknown information about some of these lesser known nefarious characters. During the early 1880s, many men, who devoted their time to the high-risk vocations of mining and gambling, found their way to Tucson, Arizona Territory. The author provides biographical sketches of four such men - John Murphy, William Moyer, David Gibson and their murdered victim, gunman James Leavy."
