A personal favorite, The Story of the
Outlaw, by Emerson Hough, includes historical narratives of famous
outlaws, stories of noted border wars,
vigilante movements and armed
conflicts on the frontier.
The Story of the Outlaw was first published by the Curtis
Publishing Co. in 1905 and published again two years later by the
Outing Publishing Company, New York in 1907.
The author of some 34 books and countless magazine articles,
Emerson Hough wrote
both factional accounts and historical novels
of life in the
American
West. His works helped establish the Western as a popular genre in
literature and motion pictures.
This is the only book, at this time, that
appears in its entirety on
Legends of America. That being said, readers should note that
Hough's
writings as they appear here, are not verbatim as they have been edited
for spelling, grammar, clarity, and ease of the modern reader.
