Citing the adage that "those who do not study history are condemned
to get it from Hollywood," popular historian Mona Sizer profiles a
dozen notorious Texas outlaws and how they have been portrayed on
the Silver Screen. From Pancho Villa - who was paid $25,000 by the
Mutual Film Company to portray himself - to Bonnie Parker and Clyde
Barrow (portrayed by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty), Sizer
separates fact from fancy in a fun, rollicking look at the bad guys
of Texas Westerns. Sidebars ("How to Rob a Train," "How to Hold Up
a Stagecoach," and "The Hollywood Posse") round out this delightful
homage to actual and movie bandits alike.
