About This Item
Caxton Press. 12th Printing. Hardcover. Like New/Fine . 6x1x9. A bright, fresh copy. In this now classic volume, Eugene Cunningham collects in his gallery the biographies of nearly a score of master gunfighters, including such notables as John Wesley Hardin, Billy the Kid, Dallas Stoudenmire, Sam Bass, Wild Bill Hickok, Butch Cassidy, and Tom Horn. Himself a Westerner familiar with the feel of pistol and rifle, Cunningham knew firsthand several of the Texas gunfighters featured in his book, the product of more than thirty-five years of research, interviews, and writing. Cunningham examines the evidence and breaks down the myths surrounding the exploits of Wild Bill Hickok, for example, preferring instead to find the living, breathing human behind the legend. His final chapter, Triggernometry, remains a fascinating discussion of the gunfighters' expertise with the fast draw, the road-agent's spin, a pistol fanning, the border shift, rolling and pinwheeling, and the use of various holsters and harnesses.
