That outlook came to be called "isolationism," though what Washington advised, and what most Americans wanted, was not isolation but avoidance of permanent entanglements that might drag the U.S. into alien quarrels or impair its sovereignty.

That is what lends interest to this sagebrush history, based largely on the reminiscences of the late Allie Sullivan Earp, who sat down with Author Waters in 1936 to recall the days when her family's menfolk were the scourge of Tombstone, Ariz...
