4-6Bad Guys series.
Each volume in this series profiles a handful of bad guys--and a few bad gals--who have achieved historical notoriety, and sometimes folk-hero status, for their crooked behavior in Europe, major U.S. cities, or the Wild West. Their colorful stories, which often come to violent conclusions, are related in accessible, engaging prose and illustrated with reproductions in both black and white and color. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Bad Guys titles: Gangsters, Highwaymen, Outlaws, Pirates, Swindlers.]
