The Outlaw Trail Jason Manning

Sam Bass is one of the largest outlaw legends of the Old West, an orphan turned wily criminal who has managed to elude Pinkerton detectives, U. S. marshals, and a special task force of manhunters led by the famous Captain June Peak.

A Midwestern farm boy who lit out for Texas with dreams of becoming a cowboy, Bass ends up in Deadwood, South Dakota, a place that can turn even the best man bad. Once Sam Bass picked up a gun and robbed a stagecoach, there was no turning back. The law wanted him dead, fate wanted him in Texas, and the outlaw trail lay between.

Bass tells one man the real story of his legendary life, a tale of lost dreams and dashed hopes, of how a good man ended up on the wrong side of the law-and now lies dying with a bullet in the back.
