520    This thrilling historical true crime narrative recovers 
       the long-forgotten story of Ed and Lon Maxwell, outlaw 
       brothers from Illinois who once rivaled Jesse and Frank 
       James in national notoriety. Growing up hard as the sons 
       of a tenant farmer, the Maxwell brothers embarked on a 
       life of crime that captured the public eye. Made famous 
       locally by newspapers that dramatized crimes and danger, 
       the brothers achieved national prominence in 1881 when 
       they shot and killed Charles and Milton Coleman, lawmen 
       trying to apprehend them. Public outrage sparked the 
       largest manhunt for outlaws in American history, involving
       some twenty posses who pursued the desperadoes in 
       Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and 
       Nebraska. Nevertheless, the daring desperadoes were 
       eventually portrayed as heroes in sensationalistic dime 
       novels. A stunning saga of robbery and horse stealing, 
       gunfights and manhunts, murder and mob violence, Dime 
       Novel Desperadoes also delves into the cultural and 
       psychological factors that produced lawbreakers and 
       created a crime wave in the post-Civil War era. Every 
       overview and encyclopedia of American outlaws will need to
       be revised, and the fabled "Wild West" will have to be 
       extended east of the Mississippi River, in response to 
       this riveting chronicle. With more than forty 
       illustrations and several maps that bring to life the 
       exciting world of the Maxwell brothers, Dime Novel 
       Desperadoes is a new classic in the annals of American 
       outlawry.
