Historical account of gunfighter Luke Short

A living history of Fort Worth's "half-acre" featuring several legendary charactors straight out of the Wild West-Luke Short,Jim Courtwright,Bat Masterson,Wyatt Earp,and the Heavyweight Champion of the World-John L. Sullivan plus many more.It delves into the "sporting life" of the era with all the vigor Braun portrays in his other classic novels such as Noble Outlaw,Wyatt Earp, & Black Fox to name a few.I recommend this book for all the one's who desire the days when disputes were handled by the law of the gun.
