Toughest of Them All Author:Glenn Shirley There was a saying back in the old West that "God made big men and little men, but Mr. Colt made eveners." Of the men who carried Mr. Colt's "eveners", some were good, some bad - but all were tough, hard men in a country and an era that was itself "as tough as a boot". There was Frank Eaton, who for ten hate-filled years tracked down and kille... more »d his father's murderers. There was gun-lawyer Temple Houston, who didn't hesitate to shoot a jury out of its box to win a verdict. There was Cherokee Bill, perhaps the most ferocious of all the Border badmen; there was vampire Kate Bender whose half-wit brother systematically hammered to death the men she lured to their wayside inn. These are the actors on Glenn Shirley's stage - not the Hickoks or the Earps or the Jameses, but the little people, forgotten or overshadowed by the others, but who may have been, actually the "toughest of them all."« less
