The Master Shyster: Con Artist Robert Hannon

When the war ended and the soldiers were free to go home, many of them had no home to go back to, and unfortunately many turned to crime to survive. With little or no law in the West, these misplaced persons became expert shysters and descended upon the ranchers and business men. They made their living by cheating, stealing and fraud and even murder. They made their way West while the pickings were good, until one of them met a reluctant cowboy that brought them to a timely end.
