Old Deadwood Days
by Estelline Bennett
For roughnecks in search of trouble, Deadwood was the place to go. An outlaw town, its very beginnings as a mining camp violated government treaties with the Sioux. Deadwood soon acquired a reputation that dime novels could hardly exaggerate. To reform the town's notorious habits, Federal Judge Grandville G. Bennett moved to Deadwood with his family in 1877, and his young daughter, Estelline, grew up with the town. Her story of the settlement that grew up around Deadwood Gulch remains one of the finest and fullest accounts of the taming of the west.

Wild Bill
by Joseph G. Rosa
For this comprehensive revision of his earlier biography of Wild Bill the author was allowed to work from newly available materials in the possession of the Hickok family. He also discovered new material pertaining to Wild Bill's civil war exploits and his service as a Marshall and found the pardon file of his murderer, Jack McCall. Additional rare photographs of Wild Bill are published here for the first time. The results of Rosa's additional research make this second addition the best biography of Wild Bill likely to be written for years to come.
