Benson's Bad Boys

True stories of murder and mayhem from the Old West. Benson, Arizona was founded as a railroad town in the San Pedro Valley in 1880 when Geronimo still roamed the valley and terrorized settlers and travelers. Because Benson was a small town, it never received the notoriety of its neighbor Tombstone. But the images one conjures up of the Wild West—shootouts, saloons, hangings, fights—could be found in Benson. The printed version is illustrated with numerous old photographs.
