Rube Burrow, Desperado is the factual story of a prolific train
robber in the 1880s and 1890s who briefly captured national
attention through his daring deeds. His robberies ranged from Texas
to Arkansas to Mississippi and Alabama, the state where he was
raised. He topped off his criminal career with a cold-blooded
murder that triggered a major manhunt. Burrow managed to pull off a
number of amazing escapes from his pursuers, finally resulting in
the inevitable violent end. Various writers attempted to write
about him and his deeds, but often getting the facts wrong. Through
diligent research, Rick Miller has laid out the true story from
primary sources, correcting the many errors written about Burrow
and his cohorts. While Burrow did not achieve the lasting notoriety
of Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, or Billy the Kid, his story is as
exciting and interesting as his outlaw counterparts.
