About this ebook
All Honest Men is based on the true-life story of J. Willis Newton, a feisty sharecropper’s son who fled the Texas cotton fields to become the leader of the most successful band of outlaws in American history. It is also a window into one of the country’s most pivotal eras, the early twentieth century—when the United States was passing from a primarily rural society into an industrialized and urban one, and the American Dream was changing from owning a patch of land to making “big money.”

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyable book -Brings back fond memories of my grandfather (1870-1963) telling us stories of the "old" days. Funny how the more often he told them the more daring and adventourse they became.
