The Wild West was a troublesome area for a long, long time. Hard conditions brought hard people - not everyone was suited to live there, but those who did had a choice - the boring, everyday life, or a life of an outlaw, filled with daring escapes, adventures and thievery. If it was you, which one would you choose?
Would you become the leader of a gang, robbing trains and banks? Or maybe you would be a fighter for freedom, who was forced to reach for extraordinary measures? Or a criminal mastermind, with a number of cohorts working for you?
In Outlaws of the Wild West , you will find out:
How important were the family values and ties to some of those outlaws
Who was the real face behind the mask of Zorro
How a well-educated one became a leader of a ring of horse thieves
Who survived being shot 23 times and made a decent life for themselves
Who was dubbed the Bandit Queen
What happened during one of the most famous bank robberies of all times
Which outlaw was so polite he came back to prison in the morning
Who was called Dingus , because he was a murderer who disliked cursing
And much more.
They are just criminals, you may think. They killed people and robbed them.
Well, it may be true, but remember - some of them fought for more reasons than just amassing wealth… The mysterious figures hide more secrets than we think. Many of them met the end we expect them to, but not all of them… Some had surprising moral codes, some even played the piano and learned classical languages. Some were the product of their upbringing, while some surprised everyone with their ways.
