He wrote whole chapters on Tom Horn, John Wesley Hardin and the Apache Kid. Other famous individuals covered in chapters organized by theme included Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, John Slaughter, Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson and Biily Bonney. One chapter explains the history of Spanish Land Grants that have been the basis for many western movie and novel.
