| Publisher Description: "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" is the oldest code of law enforcement known to man. It was also the code of revenge and retribution across much of early Texas. Where reasonable legal redress could not be obtained, it was often necessary to arm one's self, family or group for the purpose of self-preservation. Famous Gunfights of Texas presents some of the more interesting and renowned conflicts that occurred predominantly during the post-Civil War period. Lone Star soil was the scene of many incredible stories. |
