The True Story of the Daltons – Last Outlaws of the Far West
The Daltons: behind the pop culture icons lies a violent and little-known history. Their name, inseparable from that of Lucky Luke, evokes four bunglers whose misdeeds always blow up in their faces.
But in the Far West of the late nineteenth century, they were feared outlaws who spread terror, and their fall, as brutal as it was spectacular, marked the end of an entire era. What do we really know about this band of brothers who boasted of being descended from Jesse James, one of the most notorious criminals of the West?
How did these four brothers — Bob, Grat, Bill and Emmett Dalton — turn to banditry following the death of their eldest, a respected marshal? From their beginnings as horse thieves to their tragic end at Coffeyville, where their fate was sealed in one of the most violent confrontations in the Far West, Tom Clavin brings the true legend of the Daltons back to life in a gripping and epic account.
An era takes shape here where train robberies, duels, corrupt marshals and settling of scores are commonplace… a wild escape into a mythic and tumultuous America.
