I had the good fortune to be able to write a feature in the June issue of Idaho Magazine about Richard "Two Gun" Hart. Hart was a lawman, busting up bootleggers in the wilds of Idaho during Prohibition. Funny thing, though. His brother was one of the most notorious men alive during Prohibition - Al Capone.
Go to your favorite independent bookstore and look for the magazine if you'd like. Happy reading!

I might just do that!
I've heard My grandfather's cousin called "six gun Willie" I have some excerpts about him here:

He was the last year-round resident in Silver City, Idaho (Owyhee County). He took it upon himself to be the law to prevent looters from dismantling Silver City as it became a ghost town.
