Interesting book about the wild first days in the west between the civil war and 1900. When they opened up the Oklahoma territories for settlement, I didn’t realize how chaotic it was. Has some neat stories about tracking down outlaws and train and bank robberies.

Great book on the violence that flourished during America's westward expansion and the men who stood for justice
