During the time he served on the bench in Indian Territory, Judge Isaac Parker's court was famous throughout the world. Known as "the hanging judge," Parker was not the stereotype of the rough, fire-breathing frontier judge. He was articulate and impassioned about the rule of law. But he served at a time that epitomized the lawless Old West. With non-tribal whites pouring into the territory, a vicious crime wave swept the region. For two decades, Judge Parker's mission was to establish law and order. He did that in part by hanging eighty-eight men who appeared before his bench. For over one hundred years, this book has stood as the best chronicle of the Parker Court. It is vast in scope and thrilling in execution, there is something here for everyone from the True Crime reader to a law professor. See how justice was dished out in the Old West as seen through the eyes of the court. Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the migration that changed the country forever.
