Who Can Forget the Wild, Wild West?

America’s Western frontier has been a vital part of our country’s history, and a fascinating one, as well. 

Let’s explore a little bit of that history and try to separate fact from fiction once and for all. 

A sampling of some good titles:

 ”Written with Lead : Legendary American Gunfights and Gunfighters,” by William Weir

 ”Tales Behind the Tombstones : the Deaths and Burials of the Old West’s Most Nefarious Outlaws, Notorious Women, and Celebrated Lawmen,”by Chris Enss

 ”What They Didn’t Teach You About the Wild West,” by Mike Wright

 ”Frontier Justice in the Wild West : Bungled, Bizarre and Fascinating Executions,” by R. Michael Wilson
