Roy Bean: Law West of the Pecos is a book written by C. L. Sonnichsen that tells the story of Roy Bean, a notorious judge who presided over a small town in Texas during the late 19th century. Bean was known for his eccentricities and his tendency to dispense justice according to his own whims and personal biases. The book explores Bean's life and career, as well as the social and political context of the time. It also delves into the myths and legends surrounding Bean and his legacy in American popular culture. Overall, Roy Bean: Law West of the Pecos is a fascinating and entertaining read for anyone interested in the history of the American West and the colorful characters who inhabited it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
