Binding: Paper
As the twentieth century began, the American West was changing.
Trolley cars wisked passengers around cities like Portland and
Seattle. Telephones were becoming commonplace. The days of the
horse were numbered. Even the old time outlaws like the James and
Dalton gangs were gone. But just when folks thought the days of
the Wild West were over, along came Harry Tracy--a new kind of
badman--not a Jesse James--more like a protype for Clyde
Barrow.
On June 9, 1902, Harry Tracy shot his way out of the Oregon State
Penitentiary in Salem, killing three guards. This violent act
started a two-month, two-state manhunt unique in Northwest
criminal history. Bill Gulick, dean of Northwest history writers,
uses the accounts of newspaper reporters who covered the chase,
to paint fascinating portraits of Tracy and his pursuers. Gulick
also tells the stories of the men and women of Oregon and
Washington who became unwilling participants in the Tracy saga
when the fugitive barged into their daily lives.
6 x 9, paperback, 250 pages, illustrated.
