Hough, Emerson. [Story of the outlaw: a study of the western desperado.] il. *$1.50. Outing.
7–5705.
Historical narratives of famous outlaws, the stories of noted border wars, vigilant movements and armed conflicts on the frontier. It is a contemplative study of the American desperado as he is, and in spite of the author’s intention to do away as far as possible with melodramatic thrills, the character of the subject precludes their complete elimination.
“Not particularly interesting, but contains material not easily available elsewhere.”

“It is a concise, clearly-reasoned, well-balanced and admirably written piece of work—a real contribution to our economic literature, and interesting to the average reader.”
