Phyllis J. Perry reveals the dark side of some well-known and even revered characters from Colorado's past--both part-time Jerks and others who were Jerks through and through. They include: - Griffith Evans, the normally delightful innkeeper who drunkenly and without warning shot and killed Rocky Mountain Jim Nugent- Doc Holliday and Bat Masterson, known as worthy law officers, but mere guns-for-hire during the Colorado Railroad War- Queen Ann Bassett, a cattle rustler whose hatred for a cattle baron led her to drive his cattle cruelly off cliffs and to marry his right-hand man in an attempt to ruin him- Governor Clarence Morley, who promoted the worst tenets of the Colorado Ku Klux Klan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhyllis J.
