Publication: Hot Springs Mountain Press, 1999, Minden, Nevada

First edition. Cloth, xiii [1], 518pp., introduction, acknowledgments, maps, illustrated, chapter notes, conclusion, appendix, bibliography, index. This volume is a look at the first men to ever enforce the laws or directives of courts in the area that later became the 36th state of the Union. Through studying the earliest records in the libraries, courthouses, and archives, the author attempts to show who these special class of men were. The author says "This is the most extensive work published to this date on Nevada's Territorial period. Here, for the first time, the fragments of history--the yarns, the myths, the news-clippings, the journals and the isolated, scattered documents have been assembled in order to piece together the stories of Nevada Territorial Lawmen." First book in a series of books about Nevada's colorful lawmen. As new in dust jacket. Signed by author on title page.
