What It Was Like Being a Wild West Bounty Hunter

Although settlements on the American frontier existed for hundreds of years prior to the Civil War, when historians talk about life in the Old West, they are generally referring to the period between 1865 and 1890. Outlaw activity in the “Wild West” extended into the early 20th century and the vocation - although not the actual term - of “bounty hunter” existed both prior to the Civil War and in other areas of the country. #wildwest #bountyhunter #weirdhistory
