An Irish Guy Abroad

True Crime

I have always had a fascination with the "True crime" style of magazines but as a young man never bought one. Then as it happens I was staying over at a friends house and his mother used to read them so I grabbed one on my way to bed. I was surprised to find that even though the covers always looked torrid that the magazines were quite serious. This book would seem to fall into the same style but instead of a questionable cover it's the title that has drawn me in. 

Belle Starr, "the Bandit Queen," : the true story of the romantic and exciting career of the daring and glamorous lady famed in legend and story throughout the West ... The true facts about the dastardly deeds and the come-uppence of such Dick Turpins, Robin Hoods and Rini Rinaldos as the Youngers, the Jameses, the Daltons, the Starrs, the Doolins and the Jenningses. The real story with court records and contemporary newspaper accounts and testimony of old nesters, here and there, in the Southwest. A Veritable Expose of BADMEN and MARSHALLS and why crime does not pay!"

WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO READ IT.
