The Old West's most flamboyant breed were the gunfighters. 
Whether they were lawmen, bandits or wanton killers, all of them shared a deadly purposefulness. 
Bat Masterson, a renowned peace officer among the breed, recalled that when it came to settling a dispute, any one of the numerous gunfighters he had known would not have hesitated a moment to `put-up his life as the stake to be played for.' 
With words by author Paul Trachtman and paintings by artist Charles Russell, Gunfighters records the sudden violence that made these men legends in their own day - and thereafter.
