American Lawmen

America was a dangerous place from about 1850 to 1930, an era during which problems were often solved with revolvers. From blood-thirsty cattle rustlers, to fiendish Southern gentlemen out to kill the president, to hard-boiled bank robbers using dynamite and bullets to gain infamy, violent outlaws posed a direct threat to society. As told from the perspective of the men and women who fought to create justice and establish order, each episode of "American Lawmen" chronicles the story of brave citizens who first picked up badges to protect the innocent during a turbulent time.
