Meticulously researched, a fascinating and thoroughly documented account of Silver City and Grant County New Mexico.
Award-winning author Bob Alexander, a native Texan and veteran lawman, brings forth a fresh, practical and no-nonsense perspective highlighting the realities of life - and death - during the Southwest's frontier era. After a policing career that began in 1965 and retirement as a special agent with the US Treasury Department, Alexander taught criminal justice courses at an area community college while actively pursuing his interests in writing Old West nonfiction.
