Book excerpt: Bill Carlisle was the last of the Old West’s real outlaws. But, unlike many of the other famous characters of the early days, Bill was not the gunfighter type. Bill never shot or injured anyone in his hold-ups; further, he never robbed a woman passenger. He had, like most old-time cowboys, a wholesome respect for women—all women. This story of his life reads like the dime-novel fiction of an earlier day, but every incident of his daring and gripping exploits is a matter of record throughout Wyoming and all Western states.
