Description
The little-known story of how a young Wyatt Earp, aided by his brothers, defeated the Cowboys, the Old West’s biggest outlaw gang.
Wyatt Earp is regarded as the most famous lawman of the Old West, best known for his role in the Gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. But the story of his two-year war with a band of outlaws known as the Cowboys has never been told in full.
The Cowboys were the largest outlaw gang in the history of the American West. After battles with the law in Texas and New Mexico, they shifted their operations to Arizona. There, led by Curly Bill Brocius, they ruled the border, robbing, rustling, smuggling, and killing with impunity until they made the fatal mistake of tangling with the Earp brothers.
Drawing on groundbreaking research into territorial and federal government records, John Boessenecker’s Ride the Devil’s Herd reveals a time and place in which homicide rates were 50 times higher than those today. The story still bears surprising relevance for contemporary America, involving hot-button issues such as gang violence, border security, unlawful immigration, the dangers of political propagandists parading as journalists, and the prosecution of police officers for carrying out their official duties. Wyatt Earp saw it all in Tombstone.

Great book
I've had a curiosity about Curly Bill ever since I saw Unforgiven. I really loved this book and the narration was excellent.

Decent look at history
Enjoyed this right up until the veer off into pro-copaganda in the final chapter.
Does a very good job of building a case for the Earps as a force for justice (but not law & order) in the Arizona territory during a particularly bad time. But tries over hard to in the last chapter to make a case for the use of violence in policing as a good thing, which I probably shouldn't have been surprised about, given the the excuses made for the vigilante actions the book makes.
