Did you dream of grabbing your cowboy hat, jumping onto a horse and running wild in the Western wilderness?
Do you love the classic American westerns and their colorful, charming characters?
Have you ever wanted to know more about those mysterious figures that fought for their freedom, wealth and position on the prairies?
Well, hold on to your hat, because this book is just for you. The enthralling collection of 6 unique characters, whose lives seem pulled right out of a fictional story - but they are all true. Impressive feats, legends and brazen acts - they are all here.
The Wild West was a troublesome area for a long, long time. Hard conditions brought hard people - not everyone was suited to live there, but those who did had a choice - the boring, everyday life, or a life of an outlaw, filled with daring escapes, adventures and thievery. If it was you, which one would you choose?
Would you become the leader of a gang, robbing trains and banks? Or maybe you would be a fighter for freedom, who was forced to reach for extraordinary measures? Or a criminal mastermind, with a number of cohorts working for you?
In Outlaws of the Wild West, you will find out:
- How important were the family values and ties to some of those outlaws
- Who was the real face behind the mask of Zorro
- How a well-educated one became a leader of a ring of horse thieves
- Who survived being shot 23 times and made a decent life for themselves
- Who was dubbed the Bandit Queen
- What happened during one of the most famous bank robberies of all times
- Which outlaw was so polite he came back to prison in the morning
- Who was called Dingus, because he was a murderer who disliked cursing
And much more.
They are just criminals, you may think. They killed people and robbed them.
Well, it may be true, but remember - some of them fought for more reasons than just amassing wealth... The mysterious figures hide more secrets than we think. Many of them met the end we expect them to, but not all of them... Some had surprising moral codes, some even played the piano and learned classical languages. Some were the product of their upbringing, while some surprised everyone with their ways.
Read on and find out the hidden treasures of the lives of America's most notorious criminals! What makes a minister's son turn into a criminal? Whose criminal career was short, but so significant that he was immortalized in a book?
