During the late nineteenth century there were few towns in the West as wild and as crime-ridden as El Paso. As feared and respected as Pat Garrett and Wyatt Earp, Stoudenmire accepted the position as Marshall of El Paso, a job which no one had ever held for over a couple of months. Hiring young Jim Gillette as a deputy, Stoudenmire within 2 years had cleaned up the town, only to be killed in a wild shootout with the town's lawless element. "The first complete biography of this famous gunman and officer."--Ramon Adams. Fine in dust jacket. Signed presentation by Metz to Francis Fugate, whose assistance to Metz is addressed in the Acknowledgements section of the book. Original Prospectus and Order Form laid-in.
