Abstract:
Focuses on the long, unbroken chain of crime that began in the late 1850s with the Missouri-Kansas border warfare and ended in Arkansas in 1921 with the killing of Henry Starr, the last of the authentic desperadoes. This work shows links among the men and women who terrorized the Midwest.
