The Banditti of the Prairies: A Tale of the Mississippi Valley is a historical novel written by Edward Bonney and published in 1850. The book is set in the early 19th century in the American Midwest, particularly in the Mississippi Valley region. The novel follows the story of a group of bandits who terrorize the region, robbing and killing innocent people. The bandits are led by a charismatic and cunning leader named John A. Murrell, who is known as the Great Western Land Pirate. Murrell and his gang operate with impunity, preying on travelers and settlers, and even organizing slave-stealing expeditions.The protagonist of the novel is a young lawyer named Edward Bonney, who is hired by the governor of Illinois to track down and capture Murrell and his gang. Bonney travels through the Midwest, gathering information and working undercover to infiltrate the bandits' organization. Along the way, he encounters a variety of colorful characters, including Native Americans, outlaws, and frontier settlers.The Banditti of the Prairies is a thrilling adventure story that captures the spirit of the American frontier. It is also a historical novel that sheds light on the lawlessness and violence that characterized the early years of the United States. The book is notable for its vivid descriptions of the landscape and people of the Midwest, as well as for its portrayal of Murrell, who was a real-life figure and one of the most notorious criminals of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
