内容简介:
Showdown at fifty paces, gunfight at high noon, the poker player with the pretty saloon girl at his side, and the cowboy who always keeps his cool no matter what. These are images the West has become known for. These are also what have made Joseph McGuff, gunslinger from the New Mexico Territory, a household name. But there is more to the man than what newspapers and dime-store novels portray of him. We see the real stories of the gunslinger through the eyes of the town drunk who befriends the gunslinger after fingering him for the murder of the town saloon owner in order to save his own hide. We see that McGuff is a human being with faults, just like everyone else, and how many of the situations involving him are embellished in order to sell newspapers back East. These are the real true stories of Joseph McGuff.
