Stalwart Women: Frontier Stories of Indomitable Spirit (Wild West Collection, V. 6)
Leo W. Banks

Arizona Highways Books, 2001

Tough enough to walk barefoot through miles of desert and cactus forest. Strong enough to fell a man with a jaw-crunching blow. Wily enough to con the U.S. Army. Even if you know all of the buffalo hunters, lawmen, rustlers, and warriors, you've missed the Old West's full excitement until you meet the unique women who plunged into the harsh unknown -- mad Mollie Monroe on her quest for revenge, Sara Bowman and her gigantic strength, daring ...

Real Grand Canyon stories
I picked up this book when I was going out to see and hike the Grand Canyon.

A Showcase for the Arizona
We are using this book to plan a family trip through Arizona to celebrate milestone birthdays. Although we have visited the state many times, the photographs of the scenic beauty are second only to an up close and personal experience. From the Grand Canyon's natural beauty to the winds blowing through Tuzigoot to the exhibits of the Heard Museum to the history of Tombstone to the mines of ...

Arizona Dept of Transportation, 1994

Wyatt Earp: In Myth and Legend. A lot of so-called facts about Earp are in hot dispute, reminds author Leo Banks, with various writers taking one side or another. But this story is about the myth, and that makes it as conceptual as it is factual. 10 pages with historic b&w photo illustrations. Computers and the Crisis In Our Forests. Humming computers simulate the growth of a forect under different kinds of management conditions and show what ...

One of the very good books on this subject
There have been numerous books published about Wyatt Earp and his brothers, "The Fighting Earps", over the years. A few of them are very good. Most of them are very bad; being either a repitition of the well-known facts or a distortion of them to present Earp in a particular way. Michael M. Hickey's "The Death Of Warren Baxter Earp" is one of the very good books on this subject. Yes, of course, ...

Interesting History
I really like this series of books. The history is interesting, accurate, and the books are written in a style that makes for interesting reading. This particular book tells stories of the famous and not-so-famous folks that left their mark in Tombstone. No dull narrative aimed at professional historians, these books are written for the rest of us -- folks who simply enjoy history.
