Outlaws and Lawmen

Wild Bill Hickok & Wyatt Earp: Officers swore an oath to keep peace on the American frontier, but few were famous like Bill Hickok & Wyatt Earp. They defined what it meant to wear a badge in the West.

Bass Reeves: Indian Territory, a huge part of the state of Oklahoma, is the deadliest place in the West. Keeping the peace in the wild country is the job of the US Marshals and that is a former slave, Bass Reeves.

Jesse James: Across the West, outlaws embark on an epic crime wave. Jesse James and his men rob banks in Missouri. 'Black Bart' holds up stagecoaches in California. And in Wyoming, Butch Cassidy's band of desperadoes elude capture and ride into legend.
