A Winchester or Colt made brave men even more courageous. When conflicts erupted into gunfights, there was usually a fascinating story to tell. Gunfighters of the Old West II features such noted individuals as Doc Holliday, Cole Younger, Thomas "Black Jack" Ketchum, "Mysterious Dave" Mather, Jim Courtright and John Wesley Hardin.
