The landscape is big enough and wild enough to contain any legend-even one the size of Judge Roy Bean. Armed with a second-hand tape recorder in the 1960s, Jack Skiles interviewed Texas Rangers, ranchers, treasure hunters, and any Langtry old-timer with a good memory and a story to tell about the Judge. Forty years later, with a lifetime pursuing the truth, Skiles weaves that oral history and solid historical research into a compelling panorama of this harsh, forbidding land West of the Pecos. 216 pages, 7" x 10", 43 B&W illustrations, 2 maps, bibliography, index(paper).
