Truly a beautiful work.. good way to start. Deadly Dozen provides 12 mini-biographies of "forgotten gunfighters of the old west." While the writing style is rather bland and the prose a bit tedious, it provides the reader insight into 12 rather interesting characters and insight into gunfighters in the old west.Several themes emerge through these biographies. A pleasurable and moving experience.. The focus on gunfighters keeps the story lively, and the action is put in a historical context that provides a vivid picture of life in the Old West.I am taken aback that the first reviewer of the book describes it as "tedious," while otherwise praising it. Finally, it didn't take being a great shooter or being the quickest on the draw to be considered a deadly gunfighter. DeArment's informed and informative text is enhanced with illustrations, and an "Afterword", along with notes, a bibliography, and an index. Dearment's writing is scholarly, fully footnoted, and draws upon a variety of sources, some of which must h. DeArment, a life-long student of law and lawlessness in the West, has combed court records, frontier newspapers, and other references to craft twelve complete biographical portraits. The combined stories of Deadly Dozen offer an intensive look into the lives of imposing figures who in their own ways shaped the legendary Old West.More than a collective biography of dangerous gunfighters, Deadly Dozen also functions as a social history of the gunfighter culture of the post-Civil War frontier West. DeArment has compiled the stories of these obscure men. Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid, Doc Holliday—such are the legendary names that spring to mind when we think of the western gunfighter. Lake for Wyatt Earp in 1931, DeArment—himself a talented writer—brings these figures from the Old West to life.John Bull, Pat Desmond, Mart Duggan, Milt Yarberry, Dan Tucker, G
