Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. But the story of his two-year war with a band of outlaws known as the Cowboys has never been told in full.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Cowboys were the largest outlaw gang in the history of the American West. After battles with the law in Texas and New Mexico, they shifted their operations to Arizona. There, led by Curly Bill Brocius, they ruled the border, robbing, rustling, smuggling and killing with impunity until they made the fatal mistake of tangling with the Earp brothers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on groundbreaking research into territorial and federal government records, John Boessenecker's \u003cem\u003eRide the Devil's Herd\u003c\/em\u003e reveals a time and place in which homicide rates were fifty times higher than those today. The story still bears surprising relevance for contemporary America, involving hot-button issues such as gang violence, border security, unlawful immigration, the dangers of political propagandists parading as journalists, and the prosecution of police officers for carrying out their official duties. Wyatt Earp saw it all in Tombstone.","brand":"Hanover Square Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39326781243492,"sku":"9781335015853","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/ride-the-devils-herd-wyatt-earps-epic-battle-against-the-wests-biggest-outlaw-gang","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
