"Casey Tefertiller's biography of Wyatt is readable, thorough and level-headed, a rarity in the world of Earpiana...." -- Larry McMurtry
-- New York Review of Books
"Forget what you saw at the movies-this biography of the legend of the Old West shows that the facts are more interesting than the legend."—The New York Times Book Review "The most thoughtful, well-researched, and comprehensive account that has been written about the development and career of an Old-West lawman."—The Tombstone Tumbleweed "The book to end all Earp books—the most complete, and most meticulously researched."—Jack Burrows, author of John Ringo: The Gunfighter Who Never Was "Quite impressive.

Hidden in Plain View
by Jacqueline L. Tobin
In l993, Jacqueline Tobin visited the Old Market Building in the historic district of Charleston, South Carolina, where local crafts people sell their wares. Amid piles of beautiful handmade quilts, Tobin met African-American quilter Ozella Williams and the two struck up a conversation. With the admonition to "write this down," Williams began to tell a fascinating story that had been handed down from her mother and grandmother before her. As Tobin sat in rapt attention, Williams began to describe how slaves made coded quilts and then used them to navigate their escape on the Underground Railroad. But just as quickly as she started, Williams stopped, informing Tobin that she would learn the rest when she was "ready." During the three years it took for Williamss narrative to unfold--and as the friendship and trust between the two women grew--Tobin enlisted Raymond Dobard, Ph.D., an art history professor and well-known African-American quilter, to help provide the historical context behind what Williams was describing. Now, based on Williams's oral history and their own research, Tobin and Dobard offer proof that certain quilt patterns, including a prominent one called the Charleston Code, were, in fact, essential tools for escape along the Underground Railroad. And just as astonishing, the authors uncover a sophisticated African-American network that relied not only on the messages contained in quilts but also on those hidden in spirituals and Masonic symbols. All of this suggests that there was an organized African-American slave resistance movement that predated the Abolitionist crusade.Part adventure and part history, Hidden in Plain View traces the origin of the Charleston Code from Africa to the Carolinas, from the low-country island Gullah peoples to free blacks living in the cities of the North and shows how three people from completely different backgrounds pieced together one amazing American story.
