The Return of the Outlaw Billy the Kid
by Frederic Bean
Often glorified by novelists and screenwriters, the outlaws of the Old West are enduring images. They were folk heroes in their own time and are still known more for their fictional forms than their true historical ones. The Return of the Outlaw Billy the Kid introduces a man who surfaced 68 years after Billy the Kid's alleged death. That man did not seek public attention and at first denied that he was once known as Billy Bonney. Confronted with the evidence he eventually admitted his identity. The result of research and investigation and painstakingly separating fact from lore, The Return of the Outlaw Billy the Kid takes careful aim at the controversial evidence and allows the readers to judge for themselves: Who was Billy the Kid?
Great Murder Trials of the Old West

From Grassland to Glacier

Always Something Doing
by David Kruh
Boston's Legendary Scollay Square, demolished in 1961 to clear the way for the Government Center urban renewal project, is still fondly remembered today as the home of vaudeville and burlesque theaters, tattoo parlors, hot dog stands, barrooms, bookstores, shooting galleries, and other entertainment attractions. Located in the heart of downtown Boston, Scollay Square was a place where people of all ages and walks of life, from Harvard College students to transient sailors on shore leave, went to forget their troubles and have a good time. Now the long, colorful, and occasionally uproarious history of "Good Old Scollay Square" is recaptured in this lively look at the notorious Boston district. David Kruh chronicles the story of the Square from its origins in the Colonial era, through its heyday as an entertainment mecca, to current plans for the redevelopment of City Hall Plaza. He interweaves the personal reminiscences of Bostonians and entertainers with historical narrative to re-create the flavor and essence of Scollay Square. Here one will revisit the Old Howard Theater, Crawford House, and Joe & Nemo's hot dog stand, and relive the days when vaudevillians, slapstick comedians, and stripteasers Ann Corio and Sally Keith ruled the Square. Always Something Doing will refresh the memories of those old enough to recall the good times in Scollay Square, and it will provide younger Boston residents with a rich portrait of an enduring part of their city's fascinating history.

WEST OF HELL'S FRINGE: Crime, Criminals, and the Federal Peace Officer in Oklahoma Territory, 1889-1907
Shirley, Glenn
OU, Norman, 1978. Cloth. 495pp. Many photos, portraits, other illustrations. Two double-page maps. Extensive Notes, Bibliography, Index. In the opinion of some, the best survey history of the Oklahoma outlaws. One signature (page gathering) near the back of the book has some waviness -- it appears as if the printery used a different batch of paper for that section. A great majority of copies of this book, as this copy, never had the last page of the Index printed -- only the recto of the leaf. We have laid in a photocopy (the verso), sized to fit. Fine in lightly soiled dj. Signed copies very scarce. 6-guns 2011. . Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. ( more information) Offered by Gene W. Baade Books on the West (United States)
