Reseña del editor:

Outlaws' names are remembered and recorded, but little is known or written of the men who were faced with upholding the law. Wyoming's territorial sheriffs were courageous and handy with a gun and rope. Nathaniel Boswell, T. Jeff Carr, and Jim Rankin were brave and colorful. Frank Canton lived on both sides of the law. Joseph Young was called a coward. Bill Jaycox left town without an explanation. The majority of the men who enforced the law were average citizens who carried out the routine duties of office. Some served in a time of high adventure; some were not as brave as others; some drank too much; and others were escaping shadowy pasts; some rose to the occasion when faced with adversity. Others arranged to be out of town. As Gorzalka chronicles the life of each of the fifty-five sheriffs in Wyoming's territorial daystheir successes, failures, and motivationthe stories combine to create the era's history. Includes photos of most of the sheriffs.
