Half-Hours With The Highwaymen Vol.2.

By Charles G. Harper.

Picturesque biographies and traditions of the " knights of the road" “When Harrison Ainsworth wrote Rookwood family,that fantastic romance of highway robbery and the impossible exploits of the Rookwood family, he did a singular injustice to a most distinguished seventeenth-century highwayman, John Nevison by name, and transferred the glory of his wonderful ride to York to Dick Turpin, who never owned a " Black Bess," and who never did anything of the kind.”
