Hardback. Condition: Good. The United States today is a divided nation and some say the country may be heading toward breakup, or possibly civil war. That has happened before and the result was disastrous. As many as 750,000 Americans perished during the Civil War. A study of the causes of our last Civil War may help to prevent another. The Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC) played a major role in starting the Civil War in the United States. Although intended to remain a secret organization of conspirators, it is perhaps the most well-documented conspiracy in United States history. The goal of the KGC was the creation of a new society separate from the United States dedicated to the preservation and expansion of slavery into Latin America. The KGC existed in almost every state in the Union, but nowhere was it as powerful and successful as it was in Texas. Several governors, many senators and military leaders were members, having taken an oath to support the organization and their fellow members. Most of the documents generated by the KGC were destroyed after the war ended as its members feared execution for treason. Not everything was destroyed, though. This book relies on documents created by the organization and its members that have not previously been used by researchers. Many members of this organization remained in positions of authority in state affairs after the abolition of slavery. This book goes far beyond previous published work in establishing the identities of the members of this organization who promoted and encouraged the most disastrous war in American history. Randolph W. Farmer is a native Texan from a family whose ancestors first came to Texas as early as 1817 when it was still a Spanish possession. He is the author of two previously published books on Texas history.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 260 pp., index, illustrations, photographs, map, notes. A fine unread copy in a fine dust jacket. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR with no inscriptions. Limited to 1500 copies. Curly Bill Brocius (or Brosius) was the most famous outlaw in Arizona Territory during the early 1880s. Thought to be from Texas, his fate and true identity have remained a mystery. Opinions are about equally divided as to whether he was killed by Wyatt Earp in 1882, or whether he had left Arizona for his home in Texas before 1882. This book explains why the historical record has been obscured by the culture of silence in Texas and the Wyatt Earp folklore in Arizona and California. The author says Bill Brosius was not killed by Wyatt Earp, for the simple reason that he had left Arizona several months before Earp said he thought he had shot Curly Bill. Evidence shows Curly went home to the Red River Valley area of Texas. This 272 page book is exhaustively researched and documented with 53 pages of notes. A fascinating, revelation read! "Hats off to Westernlore Press for over 80 years of authoring and publishing books related to the American West.". Signed by Author(s).…

Red cloth, titles stamped in gold gilt on the spine, grayish white endpapers, xii, 260 pp., acknowledgments, illustrated, portraits, map, epilogue, notes to the chapters, index. "Curly Bill" was the most famous outlaw in Arizona Territory during the early 1880s. Thought to be originally from Texas, his fate and true identity have remained a mystery. The true identity of Curly Bill has remained unknown prior to this book, where the cradle-to-grave story of William Albert Brosius (correct spelling) is told. Gleaned from Texas state and county archives, this book explains why the historical record has been obscured by the culture of silence in Texas and the Wyatt Earp folklore in Arizona and California. Bill Brosius was not killed by Wyatt Earp for the simple reason that he had left Arizona several months before Earp said he had shot him. Evidence show he returned to Texas where he lived a successful life as a husband, father, and business owner, until his death from natural causes in 1909. As New in dust jacket.…
