Willis Newton: The Last Texas Outlaw (Second Edition). This is the true story of Willis Newton and his outlaw gang who robbed trains and over seventy banks-more than Jessie James, the Daltons, and all the rest of the Old West outlaws-combined. Their biggest haul occurred in 1924 when they robbed a train outside of Rondout, Illinois-getting away with $3,000,000. They still hold the record for the biggest train robbery in U.S. history.
G.R. Williamson interviewed Willis Newton a few months before the outlaw died in 1979 at age 90, then using transcripts from his interviews, first-hand accounts from eyewitnesses, newspaper articles, police records, and trial proceedings-Williamson tells the true story of The Last Texas Outlaw.
