Description

The history of the Wild West for too many years, has been considered the exclusive domain of the men and women who inhabited the South-western states of Kansas, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Wyoming. Canada had her share of men and women, good and bad, who opened the west for exploration and exploitation. Many famous gunfighters, outlaws, gamblers and lawmen of the Wild West were Canadian. This book exhibits the differences between Canadian settlers and their American counterparts. It shows how the law was enforced in the west even though lawmen were few in number. It touches on the naivete of some settlers and the lack of judgement shown by some leaders. It also seeks to show the injustice that was done to the native people who neither knew nor understood the white man's law.

Author Biography:

Ted Meyers researches the history of North America's Wild West. He has uncovered many hitherto unknown facts pertaining to western heroes and villains, including the certainty that many were both - and often at the same time. He has also written on naval history and has published two books on North American Native legends. When he is not at his home in Victoria he is probably in some western ghost town, or following the cold trails of the men and women who made the Wild West so interesting.
