In 1999 Bryan Woolley of ""The Dallas Morning News"" set out to record the stories of ordinary people in North Texas, to tell about their lives, especially their past and how they became who they became. This book gathers the best of those stories with photographs of each storyteller.
Few names in the lore of western gunmen are as recognizable. Few lives of the most notorious are as little known. Romanticized and made legendary, John Ringo fought and killed for what he believed was right. Initially published in 1996, John Ringo has been updated to a second edition with much new information researched and uncovered by David Johnson and other Ringo researchers.
Explores the life of John Jackson ""Jack"" Helm, whose main claim to fame has been that he was a victim of man-killer John Wesley Hardin. That he was, but he was much more in his violence-filled lifetime during Reconstruction Texas.
Ben Thompson was a remarkable man, and few Texans can claim to have crowded more excitement, danger, drama, and tragedy into their lives than he did. In life and in death no one ever doubted Ben Thompson's courage; one Texas newspaperman asserted he was ""perfectly fearless, a perfect lion in nature when aroused."
During the late 1880s, the Cornett-Whitley gang rose on the Texas scene with a daring train robbery at McNeil Station. In the frenzy that followed the robbery, the media castigated both lawmen and government officials, and at times lauded the outlaws. Readers of the Old West and true crime stories will appreciate this sordid tale of outlawry.
The Sutton-Taylor Feud began shortly after the Civil War ended, and continued into the 1890s. Of all the Texas feuds, this one lasted longer and covered more ground than any other. In this definitive study, Chuck Parsons demonstrates that the violence between the two sides was in the tradition of the family blood feud, similar to so many other nineteenth-century American feuds.
Nashville Franklyn ""Buckskin Frank"" Leslie was a man of mystery during his lifetime. His reputation has rested on two gunfights - both in storied Tombstone, Arizona - but he was much more than a deadly gunfighter. Jack DeMattos and Chuck Parsons have combined their research efforts to help solve the questions of where Leslie came from and how he died.
