Snippet: Many Americans can’t tell you who their congressman is or who the fortieth president was, but they can name any number of prominent outlaws and recite their deeds. Who does not know of Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, the Dalton Gang and others? Their exploits and tales, the lives and times, of these colorful characters have been memorialized in thousands of books, articles and films.
