Synopsis
From the Preface: On the frontier, says conventional wisdom, a structured society did not exist and social control was largely absent; law enforcement and the criminal justice system had limited, if any, influence; and danger--both from man and from the elements--was ever present. This view of the frontier is projected by motion pictures, television, popular literature, and most scholarly histories. But was the frontier really all that violent? What was the nature of the violence that did occur? Were frontier towns more violent that cities in the East? Has America inherited a violent way of life from the frontier? Was the frontier more violent than the United States is today? This book attempts to answer these questions and others about violence and lawlessness on the frontier and do so in a new way. Whereas most authors have drawn their conclusions about frontier violence from the exploits of a few notorious badmen and outlaws and from some of the more famous incidents and conflicts, I have chosen to focus on two towns that I think were typical of the frontier--the mining frontier specifically--and to investigate all forms of violence and lawlessness that occurred in and around those towns.

    This seller was great, excellent communication. This pattern looks like it just came brand new from the fabric store. The pattern was well packaged for mailing and in its own protective sleeve. The pattern is uncut and is in new condition. No rips or markings on the envelope. For me the pattern is a quality item that will be reused many times and a great value for its simplicity.

    The seller contacted me right away to let me know it would be mailed same day which I thought was a nice touch. It arrived in just a couple of days, impressive! The packaging was great! I got exactly what I ordered and it matched her description. The doll pattern that I purchased had $1.75 for a price printed on the pattern envelope so I knew it was old, lol. But for how old the pattern was, it was in better shape than I imagined and worth the amount I paid for it. Thank you and Happy Easter!
