As Brodhead demonstrates, Parker became a major figure in the legal history of the American West. Throughout this superbly researched and clearly organized life story, the author furnishes valuable discussions of Parker's important decisions in his career from 1875 to 1896 as a federal judge in Fort Smith, Arkansas."
