The Story of the Outlaw: A Study of the Western Desperado is a book written by Emerson Hough that delves into the history of the American West and the notorious outlaws who roamed its vast landscapes. The book explores the lives of famous outlaws such as Jesse James, Billy the Kid, and Butch Cassidy, as well as lesser-known bandits like Black Bart and Belle Starr.Hough examines the social and economic factors that contributed to the rise of outlaw culture in the West, including the aftermath of the Civil War, the expansion of railroads, and the development of mining towns. He also discusses the role of law enforcement in the West and the challenges they faced in trying to maintain order in a lawless frontier.Throughout the book, Hough provides a detailed and engaging account of the lives and exploits of these infamous figures, drawing on historical records, newspaper articles, and eyewitness accounts. He also explores the myths and legends that have grown up around these outlaws, separating fact from fiction and uncovering the truth behind some of the most enduring stories of the American West.Overall, The Story of the Outlaw offers a fascinating and comprehensive look at the history of the Western desperado and the impact they had on the culture and mythology of the American West.1905.
