Hands Up: Or, Thirty-Five Years of Detective Life in the Mountains and on the Plains

Paperback (Independently published Nov. 1, 2017)
The West really could be wild. Murders, robbers, horse thieves and cheats roamed made the mining towns, cow camps, farms and ranches and even the growing cities of the mountains and plains the targets of their depredations. David J. Cook, a Civil War veteran who had experience in counter-espionage with the Union Army, founded the Rocky Mountain Detective Association to help bring these bad men to justice. "Hands Up!" -- originally published in Denver in 1897 -- is a first-hand account of Cook's adventures, describing in colorful detail how he helped bring civilization to the West.
