Description:

In this book the reader gets a glimpse of life in the old west. The characters are not from the list of usual suspects, most of whom have been written about ad nauseam. They are the folks who made up the real old west. The town marshals, sheriffs and outlaws who were not famous enough to make it to the silver screen. The inspiration for most of the stories came from the real life history of these characters. Some real people, some fictional. Some lived at the time, and in the places where these stories take place. Some did not. Some are almost entirely fictional. They will make you laugh, cry, and experience every emotion in between. All are all exciting and entertaining. This book is written by Clifford Caldwell, author and collector of cowboy memorabilia, and is wonderfully illustrated by Nora Jewell Allen. Both Cliff Caldwell and Nora Jewell Allen reside in the Hill Country of Texas, near San Antonio.
