Outlaws, mobsters & crooks : from the Old West to the Internet
Author: Marie J. MacNee
Publisher: UXL
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Presents the lives of seventy-five North American criminals including the nature of their crimes, their motivations, and information relating to the law officers who challenged them. This set chronicles the history of seventy-three famous and infamous criminals, including duos like Bonnie and Clyde and gangs such as The Purple Hand Gang. Each volume includes a reader's guide that explains the purpose of the set and what the reader will find in each entry, an alphabetical listing of the outlaws, and a time line encompassing 1750 to the present that puts the outlaws into the context of the world at the time they were active. An index for the set is included in each volume. The outlaws are broken down into mobsters, racketeers and gamblers, robbers, computer criminals, spies, swindlers, terrorists, bandits and gunslingers, bootleggers and pirates. Each individual entry includes a biographical look at the outlaw, his or her crimes, and the end result of those crimes. Information boxes that give the reader little-known facts about the criminal's life; suggestions for books to read ( Badmen by Jay Robert Nash, [M. Evans, 1973] seems to be the most suggested title); movies relating to that criminal; and the many photographs all add to the set's interest level. There is no glossary, but many words that a middle school student would find difficult are defined within the text. Browsers and researchers alike will make good use of this enjoyable reference set due to its fact-filled content and peek into the lives of such a wide variety of outlaws. Because of the time line, this book would also be helpful for students who need to do a report on a particular time period and want to choose an outlaw as their focus. While the cost may be prohibitive for some, it would be a good addition because of its short, factual chapters and interesting tidbits of information.-LynnEvarts. Copyright 1999 Voya Reviews Vol. 1-3 presents the lives of seventy-five North American criminals including the nature of their crimes, their motivations, and information relating to the law officers who challenged them. V. 4 presents the life stories of twenty-three outlaws who lived (or committed crimes) from the seventeenth century to the present day. V.5 presents the life stories of twenty-three outlaws who lived (or committed crimes) from the nineteenth century to the present day.
