DESCRIPTION:
"El Paso Marshall" according to KOP ESF. Well written and entertaining biography of one-time(late 19th century) El Paso Marshall Dallas Stoudenmire. Metz does a nice job of fleshing out just who Stoudenmire was, and the mammoth job responsibilities he faced, as well, as the numerous contraversies surrounding the man. It is a thrilling tale of a gun-slinger of the "old west", who is really lost to history. A virtual unknown compared to Hickock, Earp, Maste. A Customer said Stoudenmire deserves more recognization. This book was well written and easy to understand. Mr. Metz has managed to make this book easy to understand and fun to read, but with much interest. His wordings were excellent; he used adjectives and even described persons or things with vivid colors. He has added some humors to it and it always kept my full attention.The "Stoudenmire deserves more recognization A Customer This book was well written and easy to understand.

Yet, within two years, with the help of Jim Gillett, his young deputy, Stoudenmire had cleaned up the town, a task that earned him many enemies and, in the end, death.This is the story of Dallas Stoudenmire-auburn-haired, fiery-eyed, six-foot, two-inch gunfighter, container of laughter, liquor, and death-during the two tumultuous years in the early 1880’s when he served as almost the only law north of the Rio Grande and west of Fort Worth.. No one before had held the job for more than a couple of months. Before Dallas Stoudenmire accepted the position as marshal of El Paso, there existed no authority except that of the six-shooter, and very little precedent for a peace officer to follow
