Three men stood ankle deep in mud on the shore of a jungle river, silently watching a ribbon of smoke drift and dissolve above the somber mass of trees to the northwest. Three men of widely different types they were, yet all cradled in the same far-off northern land. The tallest, lean bodied but broad shouldered, black of hair and gray of eye, held himself in soldierly fashion and gazed unmoved. His two mates—one stocky, red faced and red headed; the other slender, bronzed and blond—betrayed their thoughts in their blue eyes. [more]

Edward Zane Carroll Judson, Sr. (March 20, 1821[1]/1823[2] – July 16, 1886), known as E. Z. C. Judson and by his pseudonym Ned Buntline, was an American publisher, journalist, writer and publicist. In his largely fictionalized biography, Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal, author Stuart Lake credits Buntline with having commissioned from Colt's Manufacturing Company a Colt Buntline Special that he gave to Wyatt Earp and four other famous Western lawmen in thanks for their help with contributing “local color” to his many dozens of western yarns. But modern researchers have not found any supporting evidence of the gun's existence prior to the publication of Lake's book from secondary sources or in available primary documentation. [more]

"These humorous tales in verse were considered doggerel by the literary set, yet remain extremely popular to this day. [more]
