Mr. Wellman has assembled a competent history of a genetic and presumably culture lineage that enveloped the James-Younger Gang, Belle Starr, the Dalton gang, the Doolins and finally "Pretty Boy" Floyd. It's a very colourful set of family mythology which can be reasonably documented. It reads well. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The organized gangs of robbers and killers who roamed the Midwest and Southwest from the 1860s to the 1930s went to the same school and were succored by each other's notoriety. So Paul I. Wellman makes a case for "the contagious nature of crime." William Quantrill and his guerrillas established a criminal tradition that was to link the Iames, Dalton, Doolin, Jennings, and Cook gangs; Belle and Henry Starr; Pretty Boy Floyd; and others in "a long and crooked train of unbroken personal connections."--From publisher description.
