Tourists looking to avoid the same old sights will love this unique guide to the Sooner State.

Oklahoma has proven to be the crossroads for every generation of criminal gang activity. The exciting stories in this volume include the heroic actions by law enforcement to bring bandits, thieves, and murderers to justice, from "Black-faced Charley" Bryant to Bonnie and Clyde. A companion volume to Butler's first collection, Oklahoma Renegades, which focussed on the state's lawlessness prior to statehood, this collection introduces readers to lesser-known outlaws and lawmen. It also includes examples of many acts of vigilantism, including the hanging of "Deacon" Jim Miller in 1909, considered by many historians to be the end of the Old West era.
