Blending historical detail, biographical sketches, and good-guy/bad-guy stories of the era, this book takes a look at a time when keeping the peace went hand-in-hand with civilizing a hard and vast wilderness. This work highlights the early days of law enforcement in Western Colorado, encompassing the brazen criminals, the intrepid lawmen, the inhumane jails, the merciless vigilante neck tie parties, and the line that sometimes blurred and often disappeared between lawman and outlaw in America s wild and wooly West. Covering towns located along Colorado s New Mexico border north to Wyoming, from Creede to Gunnison to Delta and on up to Brown s Park Keepin the Peace captures the danger and excitement of the past and promises to hold the rapt attention of readers today.
