Wanted! Famous Outlaws

Certain outlaws lived in such infamy that their legendary personas and their actual lives have become interwoven. Both are equally as fascinating in this thrilling series focusing on menacing fugitives such as Bonnie and Clyde, Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and Blackbeard. Each well-researched volume offers background information--some quite startling--about the era and regions in which these criminals began their dubious careers. Historical photographs, illustrations, and quotations aid in creating a deeper understanding of the outlaws, their crimes, and their lasting impact on popular culture.
