Description: The definitive account of the Dalton Gang and the most brazen bank heist in history by the multiple New York Times bestselling author. The Last Outlaws is the thrilling true story of the last of one of the greatest outlaw gangs. The dreaded Dalton Gang consisted of three brothers and their rotating cast of colorful accomplices who saw themselves as descended from the legendary James brothers. They soon became legends themselves beginning their career as common horse thieves before graduating to robbing banks and trains. On October 5, 1892, the Dalton Gang attempted their boldest and bloodiest raid yet: robbing two banks in broad daylight in Coffeyville Kansas simultaneously. As Grat Bob and Emmett Dalton and Bill Power and Dick Broadwell crossed the plaza to enter the two buildings the outlaws were recognized by townspeople who raised the alarm. Citizens armed themselves with shotguns and six - shooters from nearby hardware stores and were locked and loaded when the thieves emerged from the banks. The ensuing gun battle was a lead - filled firefight of epic proportions. As the smoke cleared eight men lay dead including four of the five members of the doomed Dalton Gang. For the first time ever the full story of the Dalton Gang's life of crime culminating in one of the Wild West's most violent events are chronicled in detail a last gruesome gasp of the age of gunfights.
