The Capture of Black Bart: Gentleman Bandit of the Old West
by Norman H. FinkelsteinBlack Bart was not the Old West’s only stagecoach robber, but he quickly became the most famous. To many people, he was a folk hero, a robber who didn’t threaten or harm passengers. He was a bandit with a sense of humor who wrote poetry. In robbing at least 28 Wells Fargo stagecoaches across northern California between 1875 and 1883, he never fired a shot or injured anyone. His gun, it turned out, was never loaded. Newspaper stories about the poet robber’s exploits and about Jim Hume,the unyielding chief detective of Wells Fargo, became popular reading throughout the West. Black Bart seemed to enjoy the chase. During one robbery the driver told him “They’ll catch you one of these days.” Bart answered, “Perhaps, but in the meantime give my regards to J. B. Hume, will you?” For eight years, each new robbery—and each new story—made Hume even more determined to track him down. Resources include a list of all Bart’s robberies, notes, and bibliography, making this a rich resource for all Wild West readers.

Finkelstein spotlights one man's legacy and the power of community action. Includes quotations, a detailed bibliography, and index.
Three Across: The Great Transatlantic Air Race of 1927

In the spring of that year, three airplanes were at Roosevelt Field on Long Island preparing for a historic journey--a nonstop flight between New York and Paris. Which plane would be first? Most predicted that the Columbia, with renowned test pilot Clarence Chamberlin at the controls, would lead the way. Another plane, the America, was also a favorite. Its crew of four was headed by an authentic American hero, Richard E. Byrd, the famed Arctic explorer. Little was known about the third plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, piloted by a young flier named Charles Lindbergh. Fame and immortality awaited the winner. Based on primary sources, Three Across chronicles the daring feats of these courageous adventurers and the aftermath of their flights. Includes source notes, author's note, bibliography, and index.
