Description: The bad men and women who roamed the Pacific Northwest in the ì early days never have received the recognition of their ì counterparts in other parts of the West, although their exploits ì often exceeded those of better known outlaws. In Outlaws of the ì Pacific Northwest, Bill Gulick rectifies that historical ì oversight.
* Chief Bigfoot was a renegade giant who allegedly roamed the ì high desert of southern Idaho in the 1860s, bringing death and ì destruction to the early settlers.
* Sheriff Henry Plummer's gang may have murdered more than 100 ì people in the Montana mining camps before outraged citizens gave ì him a "suspended sentence" on his own gallows.
* Josephine Wolfe was a Walla Walla institution. When "Dutch ì Jo's" house was quarantined, the mayor, police and fire chiefs, ì two ministers and six merchants were marooned there for two ì weeks.
* Gunfighter Hank Vaughn cut a wide swath for years in eastern ì Oregon. The last of the area's professional hellraisers died with ì his boots on ... when his horse slipped on a new concrete ì sidewalk!
These are just a few of the colorful characters you'll meet in ì Outlaws of the Pacific Northwest.
