Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
If the Wild West wasn't as violent as movies often present it, the main credit belongs to the brave men and women of the frontier who kept the peace. In this paperback original, Western historian Jane Eppinga documents the lives, achievements, and occasional misdeeds of Arizona lawmen. She offers blow-by-blow, shot-by-shot accounts of desperado captures, offered with vivid cameos of good guys like Deputy Sheriff Wyatt Earp and modern-day Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Arizona Sheriffs features 60 black-and-white photos.Book Details
