xviii, 371 pp, red clothcovered boards w/black lettering on the spine, glossy grey dj w/illustrated front & rear panel w/text on the rear panel. Bill Longley's reputation as the equal of Hardin and Thompson was one of his own creation. He was his own press agent by virtue of a series of letters and interviews that comprised his "autobiography." Until he was caught there was a real dearth of documentation of his stories. With research the author determined that Longley was a wandering gunman, but the facts do not back up his image as a nervy gunfighter. The author through his research located & identified the outlaw's body. This edition includes new items tht have come to light and puts to rest some of the myths and legends that Longley had created.

Johnson, David w/foreword by Miller, Rick The Mason County "Hoo Doo" War, 1874-1902
Denton, TX University of North Texas Press 2006 1574412043 / 9781574412048 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine Photos Signed by Author
xiii, 332 pp, red cloth covered boards w/gilt lettering, SIGNING by author on the title page, glossy red dj w/tan-wht lettering w/map illustration on the front cover. Post Reconstruction in Texas in the mid-1870s was still primitive w/communities isolated from each other. Law enforcement at the local level could cope w/drunks, collecting taxes and attending courts when in session, but when an outrageous crime occurred or depredations in a community were at a level that taxed or overwhelmed the local sheriff, there was seldom any recourse except a vigilante movement. During 1874 the Hoo Doo War erupted in the Texas Hill Country of Mason County. The feud began with the rise of the mob under Sheriff John Clark.
