A Mississippi sheriff's account of a notorious southern outlaw's
heyday in crime Jesse James, John Dillinger, Machine Gun Kelly,
Bonnie and Clyde -- James Copeland (born 1823) was the granddaddy
of them all. This is his notorious history as recorded by the
sheriff who arrested him in 1857. During the 1830s, '40s, and '50s,
Copeland and his gang of outlaws ranged over territory extending
from Mobile Bay to Lake Pontchartrain. The name "Copeland" became a
fearsome household word. To this day, many are amazed that the life
of one so young could have been so overfilled with felony. Dr.
Pitt's startling narrative of Copeland's notorious life and heyday
in crime was first published in 1858 and reprinted in 1874, 1909,
1980, and 1992. The account has never failed to fascinate. J. R. S.
Pitts, a country physician, was the sheriff in Augusta, the
Mississippi town where James Copeland was hanged. John D. W. Guice
is Professor Emeritus, Department of History, at the University of
Southern Mississippi.
