Book Description
Famous Old West Murder Mysteries contains some of the most celebrated, dreadful, savage, and brutal killings in history during the early eighteen hundreds. Some cases were solved and justice was rendered at the end of a gun or a vigilante rope. Many cases went unsolved, unreported, and were unknown due to the lack of slow law enforcements, unobtainable information, and inability to carry out a true investigation. Before witnesses could be found, if there were any, the criminals were long gone and never apprehended or arrested.

Their skills were honed in range wars and family feuds and polished along the cattle trails, in the saloons and banks, and on the trains of the West. More than one kicked out their lives at the end of ropes strung up by citizens who were outraged by their abuse of the trust that went along with the badge they wore. These are their stories.
