Book Description
Harry Morse - gunfighter, manhunter, sleuth - was among the West's most famous lawmen. Elected sheriff of Alameda County, California, in 1864, he went on to become San Francisco's foremost private detective. His career spanned five decades. In this biography, John Boessenecker brings Morse's now-forgotten story to light, chronicling not only the lawman's remarkable adventures but also the turbulent times in which he lived. Armed only with raw courage and a Colt revolver, Morse squared off against a small army of desperadoes and beat them at their own game. He shot to death the notorious bandidos Narato Ponce and Juan Soto, outgunned the vicious Narciso Bojorques, and pursued the Tiburcio Vasquez gang for two months in one of the West's longest and most tenacious manhunts. Later, Morse captured Black Bart, America's greatest stagecoach robber. Fortunately, Harry Morse loved to tell of his feats. Drawing on Morse's diaries, memoirs, and correspondence, Boessenecker weaves the lawman's colorful accounts into his narrative. Rare photographs of outlaws and lawmen and of the sites of Morse's exploits further enliven the story. A significant contribution to both western history and the history of law enforcement, Lawman is also an in-depth treatment of Hispanic crime and its causes, immigration, racial prejudice, and police brutality - issues with which California, and the nation, still grapple today.

Book Description
Shon Hopwood was a good kid from a good Nebraska family, a small-town basketball star, whose parents had started a local church. Few who knew him as a friendly teen would have imagined that, shortly after returning home from the Navy, he'd be adrift with few prospects and plotting to rob a bank. But he did, committing five armed bank robberies before being apprehended. Only twenty-three and potentially facing twelve years in a federal prison in Illinois, Shon feared his life was already over. He'd shamed himself, and his loving family and friends, and a part of him wanted to die. He wasn't sure at first if he'd survive the prison gangs, but slowly glimmers of hope appeared. He earned some respect on the prison basketball court, received a steady flow from hometown well-wishers, including a note from a special girl whom he'd thought too beautiful to ever pay him notice-and, most crucially, he secured a job in the prison law library. It was an assignment that would prove his salvation. Poring over the library's thick volumes, Shon discovered he had a knack for the law and he soon became the go-to guy for inmates seeking legal help. Then came a request to write a complex petition to the U.S. Supreme Court-a high-wire act of jailhouse lawyering that had not often met with success. By the time Shon walked out of prison, he'd pulled off a series of legal miracles, earned the undying gratitude of countless inmates, won the woman of his dreams, and built a new life for himself far greater than anything he could've imagined.A story that mixes moments of high adrenaline with moments of deep poignancy, Law Man is a powerful reminder that even the worst mistakes can be redeemed through faith, hard work, and the love and support of others.
