Product Description
This title is the first of two titles to launch a new series of visual history subjects. Both lawmen and outlaws—in many cases the same people—were part of the "growing pains" suffered by a country that, during the nineteenth century and early part of the twentieth, welcomed large numbers of immigrants from all over the world. Made popular by books, film, and television, the characters from the Wild West are often shown in a somewhat "idealistic" way—the reality could be very different.
