Originally published in the 1930s, this is the memoir of Emmett Dalton, an outlaw known for his involvement in bank robberies and train holdups toward the turn of the twentieth century. Featuring period photographs and portraits, this book provides fascinating insight into the motives behind the Daltons' most infamous crimes, including the First National Bank robbery and the Coffeyville raid. This new edition comes complete with a foreword by Kith Presland, an expert on the outlaw.
Emmett Dalton (1871-1937) was the youngest of four Dalton brothers. He was seriously injured in the same raid in which his brothers were killed and subsequently served fourteen years of a life sentence in the Kansas State Penitentiary before his pardon in 1907. Following his release, he lived in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and thereafter in the Los Angeles area for twenty years.
A graduate of Sparsholt College, Kith Presland is an expert on Emmett Dalton. She resides in Reading, England.
