From the Back Cover
The mid-1800s through the turn of the twentieth century were lawless times in young Colorado. Resident killer Jack Slade was such an enigma - both gentleman and murderer - that he charmed both Mark Twain and Buffalo Bill. Marshal Jim Clark enjoyed having a little fun on the side, donning disguises to rob miners. Elegant swindler Lou Blonger made a huge fortune off poor suckers. And Gertrude Patterson shot and killed her husband in broad daylight . . . but was found innocent nonetheless.
Outlaw Tales of Colorado tells the true stories of more than a dozen of the era's most infamous outlaws. Inside you'll meet crass, dangerous, and often-tragic figures in Centennial State history - from conmen, murderers, bank robbers, cattle rustlers, and a horse thief to lawless lawmen, jealous lovers, and a cannibal.
