Phil Foote was a soldier, farmer, blacksmith and later lawman, outlaw and hired gun. His exploits in the West in places like Colorado, Utah, and Nevada were widely reported during his era, but have since been forgotten. In this new second edition to the 2017 biography, the first ever on Foote, historian Erik J. Wright explores the life and crimes of one of the West's most notorious - and dangerous - men. With never-before-published photographs and new findings on key participants, this volume, number two in the Frontier Biography Series, will surely become a classic in the literature of outlaw and lawman studies.
Praise for the First Edition
For those interested in the peripheral characters of the Wild West, this will be an interesting book to read." - Roy Young in The Journal of the Wild West History Association
"Erik Wright is the next Leon Metz." - Marcus Huff, former editor of True West Magazine
"Erik Wright... has a strong foothold in outlaw-lawman research, usually looking beyond the familiar big names in the Wild West... Wright acknowledges remaining blanks in the Foote story, but that's the case in most tales of Western gunfighters, who as a rule were quicker with a pistol than a pen." - Wild West Magazine
