Product Description
For over one hundred years in the Lone Star State, outlaws like Machine Gun Kelly, William T. "Black Jack" Christian, and bank robber Reuben Burrow terrorized the plains of Texas while lawmen such as Ranger John Barclay Armstrong and deputy sheriff James W. Bell fought to rein the chaos.
This is the story of two hundred of Texas' most famous Western criminals, intrepid lawmen, and some men who dared to be both. From Frank James, who settled in Dennison for a new start, to infamous gunman Billy the Kidd, 200 Texas Outlaws and Lawmen lassos the Western spirit in all of us and quick-draws us into a time before the West was won.
