Description

A superbly researched biography of a town and county. Silver City and Old Grant County's history has not been told before in such fascinating and exciting detail. It's all here - Apaches such as Geronimo, Mangas Coloradas and Victorio, Billy the Kid, the Earps and Kit Joy. Tough lawmen walked Silver City's streets and chased down owlhoots. But the everyday folk are well represented as well: townspeople, miners, soldiers, school teachers and store owners. This corner of New Mexico Territory held all elements of humanity; reading its history is like holding up a mirror to the entire Western adventure.

Author Biography:

Award-winning author Bob Alexander, a native Texan and veteran lawman, brings forth a fresh, practical and no-nonsense perspective highlighting the realities of life - and death - during the Southwest's frontier era. After a policing career that began in 1965 and retirement as a special agent with the US Treasury Department, Alexander taught criminal justice courses at an area community college while actively pursuing his interests in writing Old West nonfiction.
