Chamberlain UNM Press , 15 de fev. The Big Killing. Back Cover. Dallas Stoudenmire was born in Aberfoil, Alabama on December 11, As a year-old, he spent time in the Confederate Army — although he was discharged when officers found out that he was underage. Still, undeterred, Stoudenmire signed up again and fought in the Civil War, and he later operated as a Texas Ranger for three or more years.

Armed with two guns, Stoudenmire was an accurate shot with both hands, and he had a reputation for being tough and dangerously short-tempered when he had a drink inside him.

In April , Stoudenmire became marshal of El Paso, Texas — this being an infamously lawless and violent town at the time. On his third day on the job, Stoudenmire killed three men with two. By February the following year, he had dispatched with a further seven men in gunfights. Although the crime rate in El Paso fell significantly, and Stoudenmire earned himself repute as a legendary lawman and gunslinger, he also made himself a lot of enemies.

On September 18, , he was shot and killed during a shootout with the Manning brothers, the culmination of a feud. He was 36 years old. He was involved in multiple gunfights and related incidents, including the accidental shooting of Tombstone town marshal Fred White on October 27, and the March 8, killing of a cowboy named Dick Lloyd. Brocius may have also been mixed up in the March 18, assassination of Morgan Earp.

Whether or not this was the case, what is certain is that Brocius was good with a gun. He was also said to have the ability to snuff out a candle by firing at it with his pistol. In the end, though, on March 24, , Wyatt Earp killed Brocius during a shootout involving the Earp posse, Brocius and several other cowboys in Iron Springs, Arizona.

Hickok is said to have been a great shot, even as a youngster, and was well known for his marksmanship with a pistol. In , after a fight Hickok mistakenly believed had ended with the death of his adversary, the year-old headed west. He first found work as a stagecoach driver, prior to working as a lawman in Kansas and Nebraska. Hickok then spent some time fighting for the Union Army — possibly as a spy — during the Civil War. On April 15, , Hickok took over as the marshal of Abilene, Texas.

However, in December that same year he was discharged of his duties following a string of dubious shooting incidents — including the accidental killing of his deputy. He also tried to support himself as a gambler and was even arrested for vagrancy on a few occasions. Fate caught up with Hickok on August 2, when a man named Jack McCall walked into the Deadwood, Dakota saloon in which Hickok was playing poker and shot him in the head from behind.

There, in his Jersey Lilly saloon in the minuscule West Texas town of Langtry, Roy Bean doled out drinks and his own brand of justice for more than 20 years. He ran a blockade during the Civil War hauling cotton from San Antonio to British ships off the coast. He helped run a shop in Chihuahua, Mexico with his older brother, Sam, until he caused too much trouble. Next he went to live with his oldest brother, Joshua, who was mayor of San Diego. Roy was jailed for dueling, broke out, and followed his brother to San Gabriel.

Next he went to Mesilla, New Mexico, where Sam made him a partner in a saloon there. Things went well until the Civil War reached them. In , Bean left his wife of sixteen years, and their four children, to move with the railroad grading camps to Vinegaroon, a tent city near the Pecos River. He retained the post, with interruptions in and , when he was voted out, until he retired voluntarily in When the railroad moved west, Bean packed up his courtroom and saloon and moved 70 miles to Strawbridge, and a new tent city.

According to legend, Bean named the town after the British actress Emilie Charlotte Lillie Langtry, with whom Bean had fallen in love after seeing her picture. The truth: railroad records indicate that the town was named for George Langtry, a railroad construction foreman. Well done and well researched, Tracy. I love learning more about these legends.

Good Heavens! One hears of Judge Roy Bean all the time, but I had no idea of the real story about him. I guess the old saying about it takes a crook to know one or whatever applied. He seems to have been very good at self promotion and getting out of trouble even if by just running away.

I guess he decided one way to avoid getting in trouble with the law was to become the law.
