| Abstract
|
:
|
"This collection of case histories examines hundreds of trials and death sentences carried out by the law of the "Wild West." The legal executions, most of them by hanging, provoke discussion over the controversial, modern view of the death sentence as well as the evolving jurisprudence of the western U.S. territories"--Provided by publisher.
