About this item

He was a legend of the Southwest known as Judge Roy Bean, but here is the story of his early years and the experiences that shaped him. All the way back to his youth in Kentucky, Roy Bean's passion was for gold. He'd tried his hand at being a merchant in Mexico, but that ended in a gunfight and a getaway. Then a chance encounter on the trail gave him a new direction: the mastermind of an Army payroll robbery will cut Roy in if he helps retrieve the gold.
