Outlaw, gang member, and loving husband, Emmett Dalton remains a
significant figure in American Old West history. His scandalous
career of thievery included the ill-fated raid in Coffeyville,
Kansas. When the Dalton Gang attempted to rob two banks at once, a
deadly shootout ensued, leaving Emmett Dalton with more than twenty
gunshot wounds and a life sentence in the Kansas State
Penitentiary. This autobiography describes Dalton's everyday life
as an outlaw. In it, he recalls such adolescent memories as hearing
stories of the Younger gang, his first train robbery and feelings
of exultation, visiting his mother, and courting Julia Johnson-the
woman who would one day become his wife. Dalton also details the
preparations taken for the Coffeyville raid and the suspense that
hung in the air as they rode into town, revealing the gang's final
moments. In addition to presenting Emmett Dalton's accounts, this
pictorial memoir includes a foreword by Dalton authority Kith
Presland, who provides a peek into the mind of an outlaw.
