Tales of Badmen, Bad Women, and Bad Places

by C. F. Eckhardt

"C. F. Eckhardt tells the stories your teacher never told you about Texas outlaws. Some are famous, and some you may never have heard of. All of them are out for their share of the good life in Texas."--BOOK JACKET. "Interweaving history and legend with lively story-telling, Eckhardt adds new details to our knowledge of such figures as Judge Roy Bean, John Wesley Hardin, and Bonnie and Clyde, and introduces us to others previously known only in their own neighborhoods: the murderous Yokums of the Big Thicket, the feuding madams of El Paso's brothel district, and the tragic Papworths of Erath County."--BOOK JACKET.
