Edmond Franklin Bates' Authentic History of Sam Bass and His Gang delivers a vivid and fast-paced narrative of one of the American West's most notorious outlaws. Drawing on court records, eyewitness accounts, and regional lore, Bates reconstructs the dramatic life and crimes of Sam Bass — from train robberies and shootouts to his eventual downfall in a deadly ambush. The book captures the spirit of frontier lawlessness and the mythic tension between bandits and justice. Rich in period detail and action, it stands as both a thrilling adventure and a valuable historical document of the post-Civil War Texas frontier.
