Fine. Book First edition. Limited to 500 copies. Signed by the author. Introduction by Paula Mitchell Marks. [6], 307pp. Vintage photographic portraits and views.

John Harris Behan was a frontier lawman of early Arizona Territory, long portrayed as a villain in the Tombstone conflicts and nemesis of Wyatt Earp. This fine work presents the story of this 40 year lawman who was skilled with gun and horse, yet consistently fought crime and made arrests without killing anyone. Behan was also a Civil War volunteer, a State Legislator of two terms, and Yuma Prison Superintendent.
