"Slaughter was a cattleman in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, a Civil War soldier, Texas Ranger, Indian campaign Army scout, Arizona legislator and founder of Douglas, Arizona. He was Sheriff of Tombstone's Cochise county. ... Based on extensive research, this biography has been very well received by layman and scholar, and is becoming difficult to find."--Clark/Brunet.
