Told in vivid, sensational detail, the volume explores their early lives, wartime exploits, infamous robberies, and eventual downfall. With over 80 chapters and richly illustrated with full-page woodcuts, the book offers a striking blend of historical reporting and popular crime literature of the American frontier. By Jay Donald.
