True Tales of the American Southwest
Popular historian Howard Bryan has been delving into obscure corners
of
Southwest history since his early years as a reporter for The
Albuquerque Tribune. His latest book offers a wealth of fascinating
true stories of the old West that have never been published and are
not available in any
public archive. Bryan collected the material in the 1950s in extended
personal
interviews with old-timers who remembered a way of life that had by
that time given way to the modern age. In those years Bryan heard and
preserved dozens of new stories about famous characters such as Pancho
Villa, Geronimo, Billy the Kid, and Black Jack Ketchum, many of whom
the
old-timers had known personally. Their recollections provide a vivid
recreation of
both everyday life on the frontier and extraordinary events and developments
that shaped the history of the Southwest. The stories range from humorous
to
touching to tragic and violent--all told with frankness and candor.
