The Last Outlaws: The Desperate Final Days of the… par Tom Clavin
This is the story of the Dalton Gang and their members from start to finish and there is not a happy ending. The book also traces some of the earlier outlaw gangs and the members of law enforcement that try to keep them all in check. The book is effortless to read and gives a voyeurs perspective into their personal lives from inception to demise. There are many graphic photographs of the principals both alive and dead. Entertaining.
A reasonably good book in the narrative style that Clavin has demonstrated in previous books. As in the other books, the main event, the botched robbery of two banks in Coffeyville KS, occupies only a small part of the book. The rest is the background of the Daltons and those associated with them, the lawmen who pursued them and what happened afterwards. Rather light however on any overall look at their times. Recommended if you like Clavin's other books.
An incredibly detailed inside look into the notorious Dalton Gang and later the Doolin branch. Clavin's writing style makes this book a must read for anyone with an interest in the doings and undoings of the characters that made up these bands of miscreants that roamed the wild west of the era.
How he uncovered the endless episodes is in itself pretty amazing. But his packaging of the rough and tumble shoot outs, standoffs and escapes makes the volume a real page turner. What struck me again and again is how some of these bad guys kept going and going from one venture to the other and escaping justice. But ultimately very few it seems escaped with their lives or parts of thme when the bullets flew from the other side.
The legends that tracked these bandits down are also well covered and we are introduced to some very dogged and determined fellows whose courage seemingly never waived in getting their man.
Just an engaging and captivating read for even the casual reader of history in the American west and curious about those notorious outlaws who made life on the edge theirs.… (plus d'informations)
