REVIEWS
"This is an intriguing and deeply significant contribution to the ongoing effort to demythologize the Wild West and adds an important new layer to the search for an identifiable legal culture in Nebraska and Great Plains history."—Mark Scherer, coauthor of Echo of Its Time: The History of the Federal District Court of Nebraska, 1867–1933
"Despite what we think we know about horse theft, this is the first effort to pull it all together into a single study. It is good stuff!"—Mark R. Ellis, author of Law and Order in Buffalo Bill's Country: Legal Culture and Community on the Great Plains, 1867–1910
"Never Caught Twice shows how 'creating and protecting private property'—livestock on the hoof—rather than 'the advent of law and order' defined America's frontier settlement. Matthew Luckett is an excellent writer, deep thinker, and brave scholar."—Will Bagley, author of So Rugged and Mountainous: Blazing the Trails to Oregon and California
