Pre-Owned Last of the Robbers Roost Outlaws: Moab’s Bill Tibbetts (Paperback) 0937407151

Long after Butch and Sundance left the country in 1901, outlaws rode on. The wild terrain of southeastern Utah remained their refuge, from the infamous Robbers Roost to today's Canyonlands National Park, and beyond. In his biography of one such man, McCourt reveals how some became wanted, while others freely operated under the guise of respectability. The author does a super job of capturing the flavor of time and place, a grim enlightenment of hard times and consequences. In The Early much of southern Utah was still untamed, unnamed and unexplored. To a bold adventurous boy like Bill Tibbetts, the place was magic. Cowboys still bucked-out will horses and chased renegade bands of Indians that skulked through mountain shadows or canyons cradling ancient cliff dwellings . The Story of Bill Tibbetts, who overcame the travails of being a wanted man in a hostile land, is a nostalgic read of hard times in the old west. This book is an exciting tale of one-man's journey; his grit, his gumption, his loyalty to the land and family. Book jacket.
