Bad Men and Bad Towns

by Wayne C. Lee

Wayne C. Lee chronicles the violent history of the Nebraska Territory. The state's history is full of stories about violent feuds between settlers and landowners, native peoples and soldiers, con-artists and bandits. Many of these stories end abruptly at the end of a vigilante rope.

Reviews

[Eric B · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a thorough review of crime in early Nebraska. The book itself is a collection of individual events, some of which intersect, but most have no relation to each other. The author seems to have selected the events that he felt would be interesting to the reader. It's an interesting, very readable, niche book.
