The lives of outlaws Cole, Jim, Bob and John Younger and Frank and Jesse James are presented through over 200 photographs.
The focus on the celebrated band of outlaws shifts from folklore to fact to tell the true story of the legendary James-Younger Gang. In an unexpected twist, the Gang’s back-stories and adventures were frequently more amazing than the fictional accounts that abounded even during their lifetimes. Complemented by over two hundred photographs, Outlaws offers a unique glimpse into the lives of six tormented - and deadly - political activists.

Marley Brant is an excellent author, if you want to know the truth about Jesse James, his brother Frank, and their partners in crime you must read this fabulous biography. Brant sticks to this colorful history of the Outlaws in an enormously entertaining writing style. The James and Younger boys are no longer just footmates in some dusty history books but still live in the minds.
