Marshall Trimble's Arizona Outlaws and Lawmen
Marshall Trimble is an award-winning author and Arizona state historian. He has written more than 20 books about the state. He has also been an educator, lecturer, stage performer, and cowboy philosopher. His work has spanned four decades. He is considered an authority on Arizona history and has appeared on numerous radio shows.
Arizona was an ideal place for outlaws and law breakers in the 1800s, but it was also a dangerous, lawless place. The Arizona Territory was home to a long list of gunfighters, including heroes and killers who would become legends. There were also lawmen who acted with courage and fearlessness, which is often lacking in today's society.

Although it received high praise for debunking common myths about the West, it also received harsh criticism for focusing too much on women, minorities, and the environment.
