Policing the elephant

In this volume John Reid examines criminal activity and its consequences among travelers on the Overland Trail in the early nineteenth century. Professor Reid consulted hundreds of primary sources in several repositories to discover how justice was meted out - without police, prosecuting attorneys, or constituted courts. The book is a companion to Law for the Elephant: Property and Social Behavior on the Overland Trail (San Marino: 1980, 1997).
