DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis account of nineteenth-century Missouri vigilantes is “a first rate adventure story [and] an extremely valuable study of the roots of violence in America” (Gary Paulsen, Newbery Medal–winning author of Hatchet). In the 1880s, the Ozark hills around Taney County, Missouri, echoed with the sound of Winchester rifles. Men were lynched from tree limbs by masked night riders. Bundles of switches were tossed on the porches of “loose” men and women as a grim warning to reform or leave the area. This action-filled saga of the notorious eight-year career of the vigilantes is the most comprehensive account of the Bald Knobber era. It traces the roots of the group in the region’s border struggles during the Civil War, and examines the organization of anti-Bald Knobbers which sprang up to oppose them. Giant Nat Kinney founded the Bald Knobbers, and led them in their violent campaign for law and order. Andrew Coggburn wrote satirical songs to infuriate Kinney and the others. Seventeen-year-old Billy Walker murdered an innocent family and was hanged by the beleaguered authorities. Five opponents of the Bald Knobbers vowed to kill Nat Kinney, and played cards to decide who would do the deed. This book, with photos and illustrations, provides “the most accurate accounting to date of this vigilante group” (Springfield (MO) News-Leader). “Has the sweep and drama of a major novel, with the power and authority of historical truth.” —Loren D. Estleman, Shamus Award-winning author of Monkey in the Middle “Meticulously detailed and carefully constructed . . . fills a gap in the recorded history of Missouri.” —The Kansas City Star

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThomas Berdue, an ex-con gambler in Australia, ventures across the Pacific to make his fortune in the California Gold Rush. He is thrown immediately into the rough and tumble, lawless world of San Francisco in its infancy. The instant city experiences rampant crime and countless fires, many committed by arsonists. Leading townsmen struggle to confront the Hounds and the Sydney Ducks, ruthless gangs that terrorize the citizenry. Vigilantes, led by California pioneer Sam Brannan take the law into their own hands to oppose them. In this volatile setting, through terrible fortune of resemblance, Thomas Berdue is mistaken for the state's most wanted villain, "English Jim" Stuart, in an era that lacks DNA testing or fingerprinting for proper identification. The hangman's noose awaits him. Vigilante Justice is a riveting work based on the greatest case of mistaken identity in American history, set during the turbulent birth of one of the world's most alluring metropolises.
