   Great story telling: includes the nearly six month chase of the Dalton Gang train robbers by the Tulare County Sheriff and his deputy across the western states and territories in the late 1800’s.

   This book is the resource for all things Dalton. The writer, Frank Latta should have been awarded the Pulitzer for investigative journalism. This is the source document for those interested in the “true” story of the Dalton’s.

   The author did a very nice job of transcribing and recording the facts presented by Dalton brothers Lit and Emmett Dalton. The stories and 1st hand accounts, along with the photographic evidence, provides the reader with the feeling of an accurate representation of what life was like in the late 1800’s. This book is a must read for any historian interested in changing life from the Old West to the Modern Age of rail, ranching, robbery and murder.

   This book is a reprint of the 1976 classic covering the legend and lore of the Dalton Gang and its exploits in California and the Midwest. It is 291 pages of Dalton family fact and fiction laid out in a manner that allows for easy and comprehensive reading. The Daltons were active in California in the early 1890s, robbing a number of trains and roaming the San Joaquin Valley. Latta did in depth interviews of the surviving members of the Dalton Family and created this fascinating history of their exploits. It is full of photographs and illustrations.
