The Last Outlaws: The Desperate Final Days of the Dalton Gang
 

The Dalton Gang began their outlaw careers as simple horse thieves, but by the late 1890s, had risen to notoriety for their bank and train robberies.

The three brothers and their seemingly endless coterie of accomplices made themselves famous—and infamous—in the last days of the Wild West, earning both admiration for their brazenness and fear of their ruthlessness.

In the pages of The Last Outlaws, you can read their tale—from their earliest days to the account of their last callous crime: a dual, simultaneous bank robbery in Coffeyville, Kansas in broad daylight.

It’s a truly fascinating and in-depth look at the last great outlaw gang, and one of the most violent events in the American Old West.
