By most accounts, Logan Belt was a viscious, wanton murderer whose gang terrorized southern Illinois from 1870 to 1880. In this long-out-of-print book, you'll read not only the life of Logan Belt but his trial, his threats to others, his participation in the Ku Klux Klan, and his eventual assassination.
Readers have been fascinated by true crime stories for centuries. This book delves deep into the life of one former Confederate who became a real outlaw and desperado.
Operating from a notorious hideout called Cave-in-Rock, he and his gang avoided justice until Belt was put on trial for the murder of Doc Oldham. He was subsequently acquitted for that crime but his other deeds are recorded here as well. According to the author, Belt was "the most daring desperado ever known to civilization." Judge for yourself when you read this lively account.
For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
