Sinopse

In "The Life of the Outlaw (Boxed Set)", George W. Ogden masterfully navigates the complex tapestry of outlaw culture in the American West. This comprehensive collection artfully interweaves historical narrative, vivid character studies, and evocative prose, transporting readers into an era defined by lawlessness and adventure. Ogden's meticulous research is evident throughout the text, as he draws on primary sources and folklore, providing not only a factual recounting but also an immersive experience of the sociopolitical dynamics at play within the outlaw communities. George W. Ogden, a noted historian and author specializing in American frontier history, brings a wealth of knowledge and personal passion to his work. His extensive background'Äîrooted in both archival research and a fascination with the myths surrounding the Wild West'Äîhas profoundly influenced his approach to capturing the essence of these legendary figures. Ogden's ability to humanize outlaws, portraying them as multifaceted characters rather than mere criminals, is a testament to his depth of understanding and appreciation for this unique aspect of American heritage. This boxed set is highly recommended for both scholars and casual readers seeking a deeper insight into the lives of American outlaws. Ogden's engaging style and rich narrative detail offer an exceptional exploration of a fascinating yet often romanticized segment of history, making it an essential addition to any library dedicated to understanding the complexity of the American experience.

Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

    England, 1716. The only certainty in a thief’s life… is death. 
Christopher Templeton is a lawyer whose conscience troubles him. He knows many of the secrets of The Fellowship, the shadowy group profiting from the civil unrest in the nation, and has intimated to the Company of Rogues that he is willing to share them. 
 
The problem is, he has vanished. Jonas Flynt – thief, gambler, killer – still recovering from a duel with death upon the frozen Thames, is tasked with finding him.
