Best known as an underground satirist (Lucifer's Lexicon) and as an irreverent critic of bien-pensant libertarianism (The Myth of Natural Rights), L.A. Rollins [1948 - 2015] was also an unruly exponent of historical revisionism who courted reprisal for his skeptical interrogations of canonical World War II and Holocaust historiography. Drawn from a variety of marginal sources dating from the mid-1980s, the essays and book reviews in Outlaw History provide contemporary readers with a time-capsule showcase of Rollins' scathing and scrupulous approach to dissident history-both as a practitioner of revisionism and, inevitably, as a skeptic of revisionist dogma. If the texts are as "problematic" now as when they were written, they also offer insight into a mode of unfettered freethinking that has since been expunged from intellectual discourse. To invoke a popular expression, Rollins "went there." And he didn't care. Outlaw History is the third volume in the "The Portable L.A. Rollins" pocket paperback series co-published by Nine-Banded Books and Underworld Amusements. It features an introduction by the erudite revisionist and conspiracy researcher Michael A. Hoffman II and a prolegomenon by Chip Smith of Nine-Banded Books.
The Wild Bunch, the confederation of western outlaws headed by Butch Cassidy, found sanctuary on the rugged Outlaw Trail. Stretching across Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, this trail offered desert and mountain hideouts to bandits and cowboys. The almost inaccessible Hole-in-the-Wall in Wyoming was a station on the Outlaw Trail well known to Butch Cassidy. To the south, in Utah, was the inhospitable Robbers’ Roost, where Butch and his friends camped in 1897 after a robbery at Castle Gate. Charles Kelly recreates the mean and magnificent places frequented by the Wild Bunch and a slew of lesser outlaws. At the same time, he brings Butch Cassidy to life, traces his criminal apprenticeship and meeting with the Sundance Kid, and masterfully describes the exploits of the Wild Bunch.
In offering this study of the American desperado, the author constitutes himself no apologist for the acts of any desperado; yet neither does he feel that apology is needed for the theme itself. The outlaw, the desperado--that somewhat distinct and easily recognizable figure generally known in the West as the "bad man"--is a character unique in our national history, and one whose like scarcely has been produced in any land other than this.
This is a new release of the original 1926 edition.
With historical narratives of famous outlaws ; the stories of noted border wars, vigilante movements and armed conflicts on the frontier.
In more than 110 years, Emerson Hough's classic work on the desperadoes of the Wild West has never lost its power to excite the reader. Superbly written and researched, this work set the bar for true stories of the west. A friend of Pat Garrett, the sheriff who killed Billy the Kid, Hough spent years in the west and wrote extensively about the frontier. He was also an editor for George Bird Grinnell's "Field and Stream" magazine. From the famous to the not-so-famous, this book is filled with gritty, graphic, and outrageous true tales of a world long gone.
A state-by-state review of the history of outlaws and outlaw activity in the Old West.
Traces the history of outlaws in American culture from Robin Hood and Blackbeard to the outlaws of today.
