Sobre IBD

In the last days of the Old West, outlaw gangs ran wild in the Twin Territories encompassing Kansas and Oklahoma, robbing trains, banks, stores and stagecoaches. Out of the ashes of the Dalton Gang’s downfall in 1892 rose the infamous Wild Bunch, led by easygoing cowboy-turned-outlaw Bill Doolin. The Last Desperado chronicles Doolin’s compelling journey from the cattle ranches to the outlaw trail as his fame grows to legendary proportions-and as he struggles to reconcile his life of crime with his desire for a peaceful home life with his wife and son. Meticulously researched and based upon historical fact, The Last Desperado brings to life a cunning, intelligent and fascinating man, at heart a simple cowboy, who managed to make an indelible mark on the face of history and become the stuff of legend.
