Lone Star Larceny: 350 Years of Texas-Bred Mayhem, Murder, & Misanthropy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798450135304)

A dramatized documentary history of the criminal history of Texas, from the genocidal Spanish Conquest of the 16th Century into times more recent ... uncomfortably more recent. Ferman and Price track such offshoots of civilization as gunfighting, cattle rustling, bank robbery, and high- and low-profile murder, with plentiful restorations of historic comic-book stories (often restored from their original artwork) including extravagant exaggerations of such cases as the Depression Era rampage of Bonnie Parker & Clyde Barrow and colorful episodes ranging from true-to-life re-enactments to the Shaggy Dog tall tales that come with the territory in Texas' storytelling tradition. A whopping 334 pages -- and hey, it's got pictures...
