From the Back Cover:

'Sonnichsen has the good sense and technical skill to mingle fact and legend in a realistic, quietly humorous manner...Roy Bean, ruffian, justice of the peace, and showman extraordinary, emerges from the book as neither sage nor clown, but possessing to an interesting degree the characteristics of both.' --Southwestern Historical Quarterly
