Cover of Quick-Draw Gunfighters

Quick-Draw Gunfighters

Jesse James. Billy the Kid. Butch Cassidy. When these bold men walked into town with six-shooters in their holsters, most people fled quickly. That is, except for the lawmen willing to take them on. Although lawmen and outlaws stood for very different ideals, they did share one thing in commongunfighting. To live in the Wild West, especially as a bank robber or sheriff, handling a gun was a necessary survival skill. Although these men and women usually died young, their legends spread far and wide. Author Jeff Savage discusses the dangerous world of the gunfighter.
