  • OUTLAWS WITH BADGES
    LAURENCE J. YADON / ROBERT BARR SMITH

  • OLD WEST SWINDLERS
    LAURENCE J. YADON / ROBERT BARR SMITH
    True stories of nineteenth-century crooks, con artists, and quacks—including the man who "sold" the Brooklyn Bridge. Gunslingers and outlaws weren't the only ones who made the West wild. The nineteenth century was the golden era of riverboat gamblers, crooked railroad contractors, and filthy-rich medical quacks. These crooks made a living deceiving people who took a stranger at...
