Vinegarroon: The Saga of Judge Roy Bean, Law West of the Pecos by Ruel McDaniel is a biographical account of the legendary figure, Judge Roy Bean, who became known as the Law West of the Pecos in the late 19th century. The book follows Bean's life from his early days as a farmer in Kentucky to his eventual move to Texas, where he became a saloon owner and self-proclaimed judge.The book provides a detailed look at Bean's unconventional approach to justice, which often involved making up his own laws and dispensing his own brand of punishment. McDaniel also delves into Bean's personal life, including his relationships with women and his reputation as a heavy drinker.Throughout the book, McDaniel paints a vivid picture of the Wild West and the colorful characters who inhabited it. He also explores the political and social climate of the time, including the tensions between Texas and Mexico and the impact of the Civil War on the region.Overall, Vinegarroon is a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in the history of the American West and the larger-than-life figures who helped shape it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
