Tom Horn: Blood on the Moon
Dark History of the Murderous Cattle Detective
by Chip Carlson
WSHS 2002 Publications Award
Nominated by the Platte County Chapter
ISBN: 0931271592
Reviews: "Chip Carlson has spent decades researching the life and times of Tom Horn, and it has been a labor of love. As a result of this work he has assembled what is likely to be the definitive book on the famous gunman in a readable page-turner that is sure to both inform and entertain." - Dr. Phil Roberts, University of Wyoming

"Who was Tom Horn: a Wild West man-hunter of a Wild West man-killer? Child-killer or framed for the murder of Willie Nickell? The evidence seems to point both ways, but researcher and biographer Chip Carlson has finally found answers to satisfy everyone." - Leon C. Metz, author of "John Wesley Hardin: Dark Angel of Texas" and past president of Western Writers of America

"Tom Horn was a famous frontier detective with a dark side that led to a controversial conviction and his being hanged for the shooting of a homesteader’s young son. Carlson examines Horn’s checkered past and raises strong questions about his guilt." - Elmer Kelton, voted All-Time Best Western Author by the Western Writers of America
