Softcover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. Some of the West's grandest legends are not about the good guys, but about those who broke the law, the ones who robbed and killed. How did the fame of these remorseless outlaws persist? What has inspired the publishing, movie, and television industries to recreate their fictionalized caree…rs over and over again? Why did America's criminals become at the same time its heroes?The great American frontier attracted stalwart folks who accepted the hardships of the unknown and headed into the distant west. Those left behind to work for paltry wages in the crowded cities and for long, backbreaking hours on farms found escape in the dime novel. These thrillers, nothing more than fictional hype, glorified the lives of not only the frontiersmen, but also the notorious bandits and gunmen of the West. Newspaper editors fanned the flames, elevating the criminals of the American West to the status of folk heroes.In The Making of Legends, however, Mark Dugan brings reality to the forefront. His biographies of David Lewis, the Robin Hood of the Cumberland; of Wyatt Earp and the Coeur d'Alene gold rush; of Malinda Blaylock, who passed as a man to join her husband in the Confederate army; of bushwhackers and bandits, counterfeiters, gamblers, and vigilantes, rely on his personal research in countless archives across the country.Like his previous collection, Tales Never Told Around the Campfire: True Stories of Frontier America (Swallow Press, 1992) Mark Dugan's The Making of Legends proves once again that fact, like fiction, can be exciting, moving, and intriguing. Binding is moderately loose. Moderate shelf wear. Noticable fading due to exposure to sunlight. Please note the image in this listing is a stock photo and may not match the covers of the actual item.

Hardback. Condición: New. Some of the American West's grandest legends are about people who in reality were remorseless killers, robbers, and bandits. These outlaws flourished during the 1800s and gained notoriety throughout the following century. How did their fame persist, and what has inspired the publishing, movie, and telev…ision industries to recreate their fictionalized careers over and over again? Mark Dugan brings reality to the forefront in The Making of Legends. Some of the characters in his accounts are practically unknown but deserve more recognition than the bandits whose names are mythic. Exhaustive archival research enables him to recreate such colorful lives as North Carolina's Malina Blaylock, who, disguised as a man, joined her outlaw husband in the Confederate army; slippery escape artist David Lewis, the Robin Hood of the Cumberland, who finally stopped two bullets in a chaotic Pennsylvania shoot-out; Wyatt Earp, in his mysterious post-OK Corral year, amidst the Coeur d'Alene gold rush; and grim "Laughing Sam" Hartman, of South Dakota. Dugan sets the stage by explaining how newspapers and dime novels fanned the flames of public fascination with outlaws. He unmasks the real Billy the Kid, traces the paths of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid to their historic shoot-out in South America, and masterfully summarizes the Civil War grudges, bloodshed, and wanton destruction along the Kansas-Missouri border that spawned Jesse and Frank James and the Younger brothers gang. In researching the lawless era of the American frontier, Dugan discovered much information that has never been published - material that will expand readers' views of frontier history and people, both good and bad. The Making of Legends proves that the actual stories of notorious legends can be more exciting, moving, and intriguing than anything dreamed up in a dime novel or a Hollywood fantasy. With The Making of Legends Mark Dugan's pursuit of outlaws takes him to Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Texas, California, South Dakota, Idaho, Oregon, Nebraska, Indiana, Wyoming, and Montana.
