St. Louis County Library Foundation’s Westfall Politics and History Series Presents Bestselling Historian Tom Clavin

 
“Bandit Heaven: The Hole-in-the-Wall Gangs and the Final Chapter of the Wild West”
 

Bestselling historian Tom Clavin shares the thrilling true story of the most infamous hangout for bandits, thieves and murderers of all time—and the lawmen tasked with rooting them out. Robbers Roost, Brown’s Hole, and Hole-in-the-Wall were three remote Wyoming and Utah hideouts that collectively were known to outlaws throughout the 1880s and ‘90s as “Bandit Heaven.” Clavin’s deeply-researched history is a portrait of these tumultuous times and colorful characters, including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the cold-blooded Kid Curry, and “Black Jack” Ketchum. “Bandit Heaven” is a thrilling read, filled with action and poignance for the true end of the Wild West outlaw.
