Sobre este artículo
Norman: Univeristy of Oaklahoma Press, 1965 First edition. xi, 301pp. 12 portraits and other illustrations from photographs, map; bibliography and index. Jacket illustration by Joe Beeler. Publisher's black cloth lettered in silver. A very fine and bright copy with pictorial dust jacket (slightest of rubbing along fore-edge of jacket, minor short closed tear to top edge). . "A well-written and long-needed book about one of the leading characters in New Mexico. It contains much on the lawlessness of that state and tells about Oliver Lee, Jim Gilliland, Pat Garrett, and others, with a mention of Billy the Kid" (Six-Guns). Colonel Fountain, a prominent New Mexico Republican, disappeared with his eight year-old son while driving his buckboard from Lincoln to his home in Las Cruces in January of 1896. Later, a pool of blood and a blood-soaked handkerchief pointed to murder. Oliver Lee and Albert Bacon Fall were indicted, but not convicted, for the murder. Fall later achieved dubious prominence for his role in the Teapot Dome scandal. [Six-Guns: 826]..
