Download or read book Outlaws mobsters crooks from the Old West to the Internet written by Marie J. MacNee and published by UXL. This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents the lives of seventy-five North American criminals including the nature of their crimes, their motivations, and information relating to the law officers who challenged them. This set chronicles the history of seventy-three famous and infamous criminals, including duos like Bonnie and Clyde and gangs such as The Purple Hand Gang. Each volume includes a reader's guide that explains the purpose of the set and what the reader will find in each entry, an alphabetical listing of the outlaws, and a time line encompassing 1750 to the present that puts the outlaws into the context of the world at the time they were active. An index for the set is included in each volume. The outlaws are broken down into mobsters, racketeers and gamblers, robbers, computer criminals, spies, swindlers, terrorists, bandits and gunslingers, bootleggers and pirates. Each individual entry includes a biographical look at the outlaw, his or her crimes, and the end result of those crimes. Information boxes that give the reader little-known facts about the criminal's life; suggestions for books to read ( Badmen by Jay Robert Nash, [M. Evans, 1973] seems to be the most suggested title); movies relating to that criminal; and the many photographs all add to the set's interest level. There is no glossary, but many words that a middle school student would find difficult are defined within the text. Browsers and researchers alike will make good use of this enjoyable reference set due to its fact-filled content and peek into the lives of such a wide variety of outlaws. Because of the time line, this book would also be helpful for students who need to do a report on a particular time period and want to choose an outlaw as their focus. While the cost may be prohibitive for some, it would be a good addition because of its short, factual chapters and interesting tidbits of information.-LynnEvarts.

Download or read book 100 Oklahoma Outlaws Gangsters Lawmen written by Laurence Yadon and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only thing wilder than Oklahoma in the late nineteenth century are the tales that continue to surround it. In the days of the Wild West, Oklahoma was teeming with assassins, guerillas, hijackers, kidnappers, gangs, and misfits of every size and shape imaginable. Featuring such legendary characters as Billy the Kid, Bonnie and Clyde, Machine Gun Kelly, Belle Starr, and Pretty Boy Floyd, this book combines recorded fact with romanticized legend, allowing the reader to decide how much to believe. Violent and out of control, the figures covered in 100 Oklahoma Outlaws, Gangsters, and Lawmen often left behind numerous victims, grisly accounts, and unforgettable stories. Included are criminals like James Deacon Miller, the devout Methodist and hired assassin. Righteous and devious, he often avoided the gallows by convincing others to admit to his murders. Rufus Buck, a man of Native American descent, targeted white settlers. His crimes against them became so heinous as to cause the Creek nation to take up arms against him. The answer to criminals such as these came in the form of Hanging Judge Parker and other officers of the law. Although they were greatly outnumbered, they provided some balance to the chaos. This historical compilation covers every memorable outlaw and lawman who passed through Oklahoma.
