The Old West may have faded from living memory but the actual locations
where the robberies and shoot-outs took place can still be found over
one hundred years later. In the pages of On the Trail of the Old West
Then and Now, we glimpse the past through contemporary newspaper
reports, illustrated with comparison 'then and now' photographs. Here
are towns like Dodge City and Tombstone and the stories of the clashes
between lawmen and the badmen, with grim details of lawlessness,
violence, and harsh frontier justice meted out by vigilante committees,
to recall a timeless era of American history -- 'the Wild West!'
