In this true account of justice--and sometimes vengeance--on the frontier, Wayne Gard ably relates how determined frontiersmen and heroic women achieved order before thye had formal law. Frontier Justice traces the development of law and order on the prairies and in mining camps and covers the period from 1836 until the close of the century under various circumstances in New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon and Idaho. Frontier Justice was chosen for inclusion in the permanent White House Library of important American books on the nation"s history.
