I read this years ago when in high school and had the pleasure of rereading some of it as I took it to the bookshelf at the old soldiers and sailors' home, the book being supplied through the kindness of Pam C. of Balstrop, Texas. This is not merely from the Pinkerton Agency's files (I still think of them as those who murdered strikers) Horan's essay on his sources (. xi-11) I found to be especially interesting--he did a lot of research in the days before stuff was posted on the worldwide web. There are a lot of illustrations.
A succinct explanation of how things were on the Middle Border begins the tale of desparados. Mr. Horan does not approve of these goings on, noting the bloody murders.
The book is divided into two parts, the first dealing with the James/Younger gang and the second with the Wild Bunch, with considerable detail.
Illustrated, index, and sources rated.
