From the best-selling author of Billy the Kid and Route 66, a
true-life story of a notorious outlaw that magnificently re-creates
the vanished, impoverished world of Dust Bowl America. Michael
Wallis evokes the hard times of the era as he follows the life of
Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd from his coming of age, when there were
no jobs and no food, to his descent into a life of petty crime,
bootlegging, murder, and prison. Before long he was one of the
FBI's original "public enemies." After a series of spectacular bank
robberies he was slain in an Ohio field in 1934 at the age of
thirty. Pretty Boy is social history at its best, portraying, with
a sweeping style, the larger story of the hardscrabble farmers
whose lives were so intolerably shattered by the Depression.
