Book Description
Sailing ships with all their masts and sails were quickly disappearing in the 1800's. They were being replaced by the new steamships for traveling by sea, carrying mail and passengers. The old wooden hulls were soon replaced with iron for more strength and durability. Many steamships of the day either had side or rear paddlewheels for propulsion while others were beginning to use steam driven props. Along with the development of passenger travel by sea, many of the steamships featured grand saloons, elegant heavy wooden furniture and beautiful cabins. For those who could afford it, there were private cabins and specialty accommodations on the upper decks. The steamships accommodated passengers on long and short cruises, providing many things for the passenger's enjoyment including fine food, drinking and gambling. Because of two lawmen's curiosity and interest in a poker game on a very fine luxurious steamship, Marshal Michael Creek and his deputy find themselves in a situation where they can get paid to enjoy a cruise. But it soon becomes apparent that it could also cost them their lives.

Book Description
The Outlaw Badge portrays a very wild era in American history. Because of the Civil War, the US Army was unable to supply enough troops to safely control the new territories opening up for settlement in the West. Buffalo Soldiers were sent out to try to prevent the many Indian raids on farms and towns. These soldiers were also there to man the many forts and territorial prisons, enforcing the law on what was often a lawless land. I've put a lot of research into this book, in order to make the setting as realistic as possible. When compared with actual events of the times, the Outlaw Badge doesn't seem very fictional! The year is 1865, and when the Civil War comes to an end, Indian conflicts will explode across the West... ~Michael J. Bryant, author, The Outlaw Badge

Book Description
**Winner of the 2021 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards (History, Other)** Lawman or Outlaw? At times, the black-hatted “villains” and white-hatted “good guys” of the Old West were one and the same. Often it was difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish who was who. Sheriff Wyatt Earp stole horses and ran brothels. Albuquerque’s first town marshal, Milton Yarberry, was accused of murder and subsequently “jerked to Jesus.” Burt Alvord, town marshal of Willcox, Arizona, and friends, robbed a train. Alvord then deputized these same friends into a posse to apprehend the robbers. It came as no surprise when his posse came up empty handed. Justice Hoodoo Brown and Deputy JJ Webb ruled Las Vegas as leaders of the Dodge City Gang until they were run out of town by citizens fed up with their type of justice. “Mysterious” Dave Mather and even two of the Dalton Gang spent time behind a badge, as well as behind bars. When Outlaws Wore Badges explores the double lives of outlaw lawmen through some of the West’s most memorable frontier characters.

Book Description
The Outlaw Badge II is an adventurous and intriguing story of the old west, mixed with real historical events to bring the old west back to life. These times were some of the wildest eras in American history where the six shooter was the only law in most of the territories. While General George Armstrong Custer was training his troops in the winter of 1868 for a winter campaign against the Indians, the President of the United States was being impeached. Learn real American western history facts along with the adventures of the fictional characters who take you back into time with gun fights, lots of action, and a touch of romance. Two outlaws in the mean time, Nevada Mike, (who was portraying Marshal Michael Creek at the time), and Robert Younger left Carson City to cross the dangerous Sierra Nevada Mountains during a snow storm. Believing that their work was finished in Nevada, they head to California where they aren't wanted by the law. But the love of a woman would soon draw them back into harms way. Prior to leaving Carson City, Marshal Creek was recognized as the outlaw Nevada Mike. Certain men headed out to capture him and to also collect the reward money. This starts an adventure like no other. While conflicts continued between the states over the Civil War, and the Congress and the President not seeing eye to eye, and with the cavalry preparing to wage war on the Indians, times were very hard in the territories. Along with the Civil War ending, and Indian wars on the rise, outlaws and gun fighters waged war with each other as well as with the lawmen. Bank and train robberies were on the rise, and the year 1868 would be remembered as a history making year. Note: This is a work offiction. Except for real historical events, all characters, names, places, art work, and events portrayed in this book are either products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously.

Book Description
This edited collection offers in-depth essays on outlaw motorcycle clubs and street gangs. Written by sociologists, anthropologists and criminologists, it asks the question of how the self-proclaimed ‘outlaws’ integrate into society. While these groups may cultivate a deviant image, these original studies show that we should not let ourselves be deceived by appearances. These ‘outlaws’ are, paradoxically, well integrated into mainstream society. The essays read the relationship of these groups to the media, law enforcement and society through the lens of their strategies of ‘scheming legality’ and ‘resisting criminalization’. These reveal most strikingly how the knowledge of social codes, norms and mechanisms is put to use by these groups. This groundbreaking volume provides answers to previously understudied questions through well-researched case studies drawn from across Europe and United States. With wide-reaching implications for communities around the world, this exciting collection of essays will be of great interest to academics and governmental institutions as well as students and general readers of anthropology, sociology and criminology.

Book Description
In the Old West, upright lawmen were scarce. Often, the men who were bound to keep the peace were just as corrupt as the men they pursued. These dishonest deputies chose their professions based on convenience rather than conviction, and the most revered were often the wiliest. These men held grudges, ruled with violence, and instilled fear in all who crossed their paths. Offered here is an untainted perspective of these outlaws that discerns fact from myth. Legends such as Wyatt Earp and renegade lawman Dirty Dave Rudabaugh are presented as real men with quirks and weaknesses. The authors deconstruct not only the Dalton's last stand in Coffeyville, Kansas, and the gunfight at the OK Corral-among other famous heists-but also the triumphs and flaws of their organizers. The Old West's former outlaws turned good, former lawmen gone bad, and honorable citizens who moonlighted as robbers and rustlers are presented in these pages. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Laurence J.
