Los Dalton - by Tom Clavin (Paperback)

About the Book

Step into the thrilling true story of the last great band of outlaws, the brothers who became one of the most famous and feared families of the Wild West. In the 1890s, the Daltons, initially promising young men, became notorious outlaws, driven by ambition and resentment. The three brothers, Bob, Grat and Emmet, along with a group of colorful accomplices quickly became legends in their own right, moving from horse thieves to bank and train robbers. Tom Clavin tells with rigor and passion how the Daltons, with their humble origins, were drawn into crime in a context marked by chaos and violence. This work highlights not only their criminal activities, but also their attempts at redemption and the internal conflicts they faced. Interwoven with the story of other emblematic figures of the era, this work offers a detailed view of the complex social and economic landscape in which the brothers and their criminal gang operated. With a masterful combination of historical rigor and dynamic narrative style, Clavin turns the lives of these legendary brothers into a captivating story that, for the first time, recounts in vivid detail the lights and shadows of the last outlaws of the Wild West. "Clavin has been writing about the Wild West for years and has done a superb job of portraying the bloody chaos that surrounded it."-Kirkus Review
