[.ca] Shooters (ISBN 0425154505)

Shooters:
The Shooters is full of great portraits of the Old West most famous characters. Not only is it painstakingly accurate, but it is as enjoyable as any western movie. It not only details the lives of the West more well- Known figures, such as Wyatt Earp and Billy the Kid, but unknowns as well, such as Print Olive, Bass Outlaw, and Johnny Ringo. It is a great book for the scholar of the Old West or for someone who just wants the nuts and bolts.

Read this book:
If you are like me and care to know the real story behind the usually embellished legends of the Old West, then this book is for you. Metz offers a personal glimpse into the real lives of the West's famous and infamous lawmen and killers with such detail that you can almost smell the powder burning. He dispels long held falsehoods and fairly shows all sides of any given story. An exceptionally fast read, The Shooters is a biograph of men you've heard of and some you likely have not.

A truly exallent work:
Having spent the vast majority of my life in the South West and the very city where Mr. Metz live I have had a chance to see first hand the fabrications that a formed about such me as Billy the Kid, John W. Harden, Wyatt Earp, and others. With this in mind it is nice to find a true to life and exqisitly written book about the lives thease men really lead. This book is a literary gold mine for all those interusted in the history of the American West.

A must-have for Wild West Enthusiasts:
Leon Metz is a true gem for anyone who is studying the Old West. Anybody that watches the History Channel documentaries on the Old West should recognize his name. Shooters is richly funny detailing the lives of all noteable outlaws in the Wild West. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves the Wild West.

"the Shooters" is a fast read.:
"The Shooters" by Leon Claire Metz is a must-read for any fan of the Old West. The author covers both the popular and relatively little-known gunman in a book that is informative and witty. Some of the characters in this book are the ones you'd expect(Billy the Kid,the James gang,Wild Bill Hockok,the Daltons)then there are others that I knew very little about;Tom Smith,Dave Mather,John Larn. Mr.Metz wrote a book that gives details about the lives of these gunman without making it boring.Great book! This book was what I hoped it would be and I recommend it.
