Descriere The Frank W. Angel Report on the Death of John H. Tunstall - David G. Thomas

\n \nIn the matter of the cause and circumstances of the death of John H. Tunstall a British subject to the honorable Charles Devens, Attorney General....\n \n \n\n \nSo begins the single most important contemporary document recounting the origins of the Lincoln County War. That document is the Report of Special Agent Frank Warner Angel on the Death of John Henry Tunstall, known today to historians as the Angel Report.\n \n \n\n \nThe 395-page, hand-written Report that Angel submitted on October 3, 1878, on the cause and circumstances of Tunstall's unprovoked, sadistic killing is published for the first time in this book.\n \n \n\n \nThe Report documents the events leading to Tunstall's killing - the testimony of the men present at the brutal killing - including Billy the Kid's eye-witness account - and the violent consequences that followed.\n \n \n\n \nSupplementing the Report are an extensive introduction, notes, contemporary documents, associated letters, biographical details, and a timeline.\n \n \n\n \nThe book also reveals the brazen attempt by two powerful politicians - Thomas Catron and Steven Elikins - to destroy the Report, depriving history of its invaluable contribution.\n
