—Terry Johnston, author of the Plainsmen series
“Matt Braun is just as fearless as the man of the West he brings to life in his novel, OUTLAW KINGDOM. Braun tackles the big men, the complex personalities of those brave few who were pivotal in the settling of an untamed frontier. OUTLAW KINGDOM is an indelible portrait of a hard man living in dangerous times who was also a compassionate human being. I think old Bill would have said what I feel after reading this novel: ‘He told it straight—and he told it well.’”
—Jory Sherman, author of Grass Kingdom
“In OUTLAW KINGDOM, a mighty novel of Oklahoma in the Land Rush days, Matt Braun has brought back to life that sadly and inexplicably forgotten lawman Bill Tilghman. Braun is an Oklahoman and he has a deep knowledge and appreciation of the territorial history of his state. He has depicted splendidly the era when the Doolin gang made Oklahoma a killing ground and when Bill Tilghman stood for law in a lawless land.”
—Dale Walker
“Braun blends historical fact and ingenious fiction … A top-drawer Western novelist!”
—Robert L. Gale, Western Biographer
“Braun gives human depth and a poignant love to mythic Bill Tilghman, the West’s most admirable lawman.”
—Jeanne Williams, author of A Lady Bought with Rifles
“Matt Braun has a genius for taking real characters out of the Old West and giving them flesh-and-blood immediacy.”
—Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
