Description
The Gunfighters by Lea F. McCarty presents biographical sketches of twenty notable gunfighters and other figures from the American Old West. The book includes better-known figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp and Jesse James, alongside lesser-known gunfighters including John Ringo and King Fisher.
McCarty combines historical accounts with his own full-colour portraits and artwork, covering marshals, deputies and outlaws whose lives became part of the mythology and history of the American frontier. Originally published in 1959, this edition is a later reprint.
The Gunfighters is suited to readers interested in American history, the Old West, frontier history and Western figures, particularly those who enjoy illustrated historical reference books.
