During the Civil War, he led the Lowry Gang in numerous robberies and in aiding those escaping Confederate conscription. After the war, the gang committed robberies and murders against the upper class, establishing Lowry as a Robin Hood-like figure among some locals. Delving deeper into the political and social dynamics of the post-Civil War United States, the book demonstrates how the heroic outlaw's mythos was used (and misused) to promote political agendas during Reconstruction. Lowry's story serves not only as a lens through which these larger movements can be better understood, but also as a means of understanding the influence American media had in manipulating major political events of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seth a.
