Crime Buff''s Guide to the Outlaw Rockies

Informationen zum Autor Ron Franscell is the author of The Sourtoe Cocktail Club and Crime Buff's Guide to Outlaw Texas (both Globe Pequot Press), as well as the bestselling The Darkest Night (previously released in hardcover as Fall), which established him as one of the most provocative new voices in narrative nonfiction. Klappentext The Rocky Mountain region holds a celebrated place in the "wildest" West of both myth and reality-yet this is the first-ever travel guide to the many sites associated with its notorious past, complete with GPS coordinates for the scenes of the crimes.

Each site description includes a concise summary of the location's significance, historical context, maps, directions, and photos.
