Book Description
General David J. Cook was a legend during his lifetime, known throughout the United States as a tireless, fearless, and very successful lawman. Operating with the Rocky Mountain Detective Association, Cook and his colleagues tracked down and captured scores of bad men when the term "bad men" really meant something. More than once, these lawmen in lawless places defended their lives and the lives citizens by being quicker on the draw or better-armed than their opponents. Here are real Old West stories told in thrilling episodes by David Cook himself. Nearly 120 years since its first publication have not dulled the excitement and danger. Cook was a born detective. When asked one day how he happened to follow this business, he replied: “It is natural. I can’t help it; I like it.” Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the westward expansion that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Book Description
Beginning with the 1760s, when lynching and vigilantism came into existence in what is now the United States, this bibliography fills a void in the history of American collective violence. It covers over 4,200 works dealing with vigilante movements and lynchings, including books, articles, government documents, and unpublished theses and dissertations. Following a chapter listing general works, the book is arranged into four chronological chapters, a chapter on the frontier West, a chapter on anti-lynching, and chapters on literature and art. The book opens with a chapter devoted to general works. It then includes chapters on the period from the Colonial era to the Civil War, the Civil War through 1881, and the periods from 1882 to 1916 and 1917 to 1996. The work then turns to the frontier West and to anti-lynching bills, laws, organizations, and leaders. Finally, the book includes chapters on vigilantism in literature and art.
