Outlaw Tales of New Mexico True Stories of New Mexico's Most Famous Robbers, Rustlers, and Bandits

From Columbus to Cimarron, Santa Fe to Silver City, the frontier towns of New Mexico were populated by some of the toughest and most dangerous characters in the West.

Robert "Clay" Allison, after years of living by the gun, ironically died under the wheels of his own wagon. And Ada Hulmes, scorned by her lover, marched into a saloon with a loaded gun, determined to get her revenge. From Billy the Kid to "Dirty Dave" Rudabaugh, Joel Fowler to Pancho Villa, read about the most notorious desperados in the history of the Land of Enchantment. Through these astonishing true stories, "Outlaw Tales of New Mexico" introduces you to a state you thought you knew--and a West that was wilder than you've ever imagined.Marriott, Barbara is the author of 'Outlaw Tales of New Mexico True Stories of New Mexico's Most Famous Robbers, Rustlers, and Bandits', published 2007 under ISBN 9780762743209 and ISBN 0762743204.
