Meet the Most Notorious New Mexicans Who Ever LivedNew Mexico is the home (and final resting place) of some of the frontier's baddest dudes. Read about Black Jack Ketchum, who robbed trains, banks, and stagecoaches, terrorizing the whole state. Meet Clay Allison, aka the "Gentleman Outlaw," a respectful Tennessee native and Confederate veteran who settled in Colfax County after the war, but became lethal company when he had a few too many belts of whiskey. Learn how Hoodoo Brown--judge, coroner, and mayor of East Las Vegas--turned into an adulterous murderer, and figure out whether or not he got away with his crimes. All this and more is yours for the reading in Outlaw Tales of New Mexico, which introduces fourteen of the most dramatic events, and the most daring and despicable desperados, in the history of the Land of Enchantment.
