Frontier ViolenceAnother lookvalue
Frontier ViolenceAnother LookMost of the book is made up of accounts of frontier violence and then the last chapter seems to switch gears and argue that the West was actually pretty civilized 0195020987 There s a poem here concerning a murder in a small town. Frontier ViolenceAnother lookpin But what is the town to do without their blackmith So we took the Chinese laundry man and strung him up or something like that 0195020987 I think the history is a bit off a bit inaccurate perhaps dated At one point he states John Wesley Hardin killed his first man at age 11which is perhaps an urban myth at best That said it gives a good account of some of the violence done to minority populations in the west Much of it was new to me. Book Frontier ViolenceAnother looking Still a recommended read It was a page turner 0195020987 Just how violent was the West How did it compare to urban areas What prejudices existed that exacerbated the violence The author examines each of these questions in this dated but still relevant book His section on the Mormons is interesting because he is one of the few historians who defends them and expresses the opinion that their treatment was indeed heinous His section on the Earps and Tombstone was prejudicial however and somewhat inaccurate in light of today s scholarship Interesting material 0195020987
