This 1892 account of the five Marlow brothers and their tribulations 
in Young County, Texas, is now back in print and expertly edited and 
annotated by noted western historian Robert K. DeArment. After one 
Marlow brother killed a popular sheriff and was in turn murdered by 
bounty hunters, the other four brothers were arrested as accessories 
and jailed. Angry citizens ambushed the Marlows during a transfer to 
another town: two brothers were shot and killed, the other two 
severely wounded, and three mob members died in a shootout that 
inspired a John Wayne movie, The Sons of Katie Elder.

"This is raw late 1800s history at its finest and most tragic, a story of 
hate, death, love, injustice, brutality, vengeance, and triumph. And it 
is all brought together and written by a master historian and 
storyteller, Robert K. DeArment."—Leon Metz, author of Pat Garrett 
and John Wesley Hardin

"This book will be a significant addition to the literature of frontier 
violence."—Bill O'Neal, author of Encyclopedia of Western 
Gunfighters
