Most outlaws were just natural killers, like John Joel Glanton, John King Fisher and John Wesley Hardin. Others, such as Jesse James were forced into it by circumstances, not by choice. The outlaw's life seldom lasted to old age. There was always someone ready to kill them for the reward, the reputation they would gain by doing so, or to protect themselves and their family. Author Alton Pryor has researched the meanest, most vicious of the outlaws holding forth in the Wild West. Come join us, but make sure your hands are in plain sight.
