Outlaw Tales of Arizona: True Stories of the Grand Canyon State’s Most Infamous Crooks, Culprits, and Cutthroats by Jan Cleere (Second Edition) (Outlaw Tales Series)
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 2.6 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: Uncovering the true history of an outlaw is like trying to tame a rattlesnake. Just when you think you have mastered the complete story of one of these desperadoes, some new piece of evidence surfaces that poisons your theories to the bone. Contradictions abound for those researching the lives and legends of elusive lawbreakers. It is these unsolved mysteries that keep historians and writers sequestered in dusty, spiderwebbed archives thumbing with ink-stained fingers through crumbling newspapers and ancient parchments, searching for that elusive, as yet undiscovered document that will make their work more true and compelling than all previously written. Sometimes, I suspect these long-ago outlaws are sitting around their campfires in hell laughing at those of us trying to make sense of the legacies they left behind. Arizona claims its share of these varmints whose lives are complicated by myth, mystique, and a goodly dose of mayhem. In fact the abundance of crooks roaming through Arizona Territory in the rough and often violent 1800s was one of the factors that kept statehood at bay until 1912. Their misdeeds ran the gamut from train and stagecoach robbery, horse and cattle rustling to murder, larceny, and fraud.
