People of the Cimarron Country

Historian Stephen Zimmer is a favorite among readers of Old West adventures. In this volume he shares over two dozen biographical sketches of people who have made the Cimarron Country great. Scores of rare historical photographs illustrate these pages and bring the stories to life. This collection includes such well-known people as Kit Carson, Lucien Maxwell, and Waite Phillips. It also tells the stories of ordinary western ranchers and cattlemen who are heroes in their own right. "Reading this book is like riding into the high country with a posse of great story-tellers" -- Warren Cole Smith
