Editorial Reviews

Review

"Well written in a lively style that seeks the riveting anecdote, this book will capture the fancy of any reader while informing on a serious subject vital to understanding the history of the West." -- Journal of the West --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.


Product Description

The authors explore the rash of robberies and murders which plagued the mining frontier during the 1850s and 1860. As fugitives from justice escaped to the relative safety of each new mining strike, a mystique grew up around the dashing young criminals. Their turbulent lives reflect a turbulent society. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
