The Top 10 Gunslingers and Lawmen of the Old West by Robert C Jones

Synopsis: The author has written several books about ghost towns in the Southwest – Death Valley, the Mojave, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. Those books have very much been about places. This book, focused on gunslingers and lawmen, is very much about people - the sort of people that populated many of the Western towns in the post-Civil War “Old West”. The gunslinger category is focused on people famous for handling a gun, who were not (primarily) in law enforcement. This could include scouts, outlaws, target shooters, and “quick draw artists”. Among the names in the Top 10: Annie Oakley, Butch Cassidy, John Wesley Hardin, Doc Holliday, Billy the Kid and Jesse James.
