by Erik J. Wright (Author)
In the summer of 1878, Arizona Territory was plagued by stagecoach robberies. William Brazelton, a man with a mysterious past, stood out among the highwaymen for his unusual way of robbing stagecoaches, his sinister mask, and his violent death. In the first book ever written on Brazelton, award-winning historian Erik J. Wright explores his life, crimes, and enduring legend as both an outlaw and in folklore. Utilizing brand new information dug from deep inside regional archives, Brazelton's story is finally given a proper treatment.
William Brazelton: Masked Highwayman of the Tucson Basin closes a chapter on one of the southwest's most symbolic outlaws - a man whose image in death represented the very nature of desperation and criminal bravery portrayed in film and music.
