The Swamp Outlaws

No author listed.

The North Carolina Bandits, being a complete history of the modern Rob Roys and Robin Hoods. “ The homely old adage that there is ‘nothing new under the sun’ is constantly verifies by actual facts occurring every day. The accounts handed down by tradition of ‘bold archer Robin Hood’ keeping whole countries on alert, and disputing there right to kill fat bucks in the royal forest with the boldest barons, have seemed almost too daring for relief, yet here we have — in this enlightened period of the world’s history — a whole State of the most powerful and most enlightened nation of the earth successfully defied by a band of less than a dozen Outlaws.”

New York. De Witt Publisher. (1872) 84 pages.
