Título: Fifty Years on the Owl Hoot Trail
Autor: Chrisman
Sinopse: From author's page: Jim Herron led a fantastic life as a cowboy, sheriff, fugitive from the law, hotel and saloon owner, and international cattleman. In 1890, Herron was elected the first sheriff of Oklahoma Territory, but he soon found himself on the other end of handcuffs... charged with cattle rustling. He was tried in Meade, Kansas, where even the sheriff was convinced of his innocence... so much so he wasn't even required to stay in the county jail, but resided at the Osgood Hotel during the trial. Everyone was shocked when the Cattlemen's Association got a conviction. To avoid imprisonment, Herron escaped before he was sentenced and hit the "Owl Hoot Trail"... he ran from the law and kept running for fifty years. After fleeing Oklahoma Territory, Herron lived in Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico often at the center of excitement, such as the 1899 "Naco War" which he unwittingly perpetrated... and international incident complete with troop movements and several deaths on both sides o
