Harry Morse gunfighter, manhunter, and sleuth was among the Wests most famous lawmen. Elected sheriff of Alameda County, California, in 1864, he went on to become San Franciscos foremost private detective. His career spanned five decades. In this gripping biography, John Boessenecker brings Morses nowforgotten story to light, chronicling not only the lawmans remarkable adventures but also the turbulent times in which he lived.Armed only with raw courage and a Colt revolver, Morse squared off against a small army of desperadoes and beat them at their own game. He shot to death the notorious bandidos Narato Ponce and Juan Soto, outgunned the vicious Narciso Bojorques, and pursued the Tiburcio Vasquez gang for two months in one of the Wests longest and most tenacious manhunts. Later, Morse captured Black Bart, Americas greatest stagecoach robber. His exploits were legendary.Drawing on Morses diaries, memoirs, and correspondence, Boessenecker weaves the lawmans colorful accounts into his narrative. Rare photographs of outlaws and lawmen and of the sites of Morses exploits further enliven the story.
