Description
The promise of fast money and good times attracted some of America's most legendary personalities to the mines, gambling dens and bordellos of early Colorado. It was a world of famous gunslingers, slick con men, expert gamblers and high-class madams. This is a great collection of shoot-em-up, knock-em-down stories about how the west was wild.
