Description

In offering this study of the American desperado, the author constitutes himself no apologist for the acts of any desperado; yet neither does he feel that apology is needed for the theme itself. The outlaw, the desperado--that somewhat distinct and easily recognizable figure generally known in the West as the "bad man"--is a character unique in our national history, and one whose like scarcely has been produced in any land other than this.
