Good Guys not in the movies

These are stories of the unsung good guys - the ones you've probably never heard of. . . the ones without movie contracts. A "must" read for aficionados of the Old West.

The heroic, honest western lawman does exist.

This book tells the true stories of several western lawmen who can truely be called "The Good Guys". Most of the men in this book are not well known, but deserve to be. They hunted outlaws and stood up for what was right, which often led to wild shootouts. This book shows that the heroic western lawman is real and not just a work of fiction.
