Description:
As the twentieth century began, the American West was changing. ì
Trolley cars wisked passengers around cities like Portland and ì
Seattle. Telephones were becoming commonplace. The days of the ì
horse were numbered. Even the old time outlaws like the James and ì
Dalton gangs were gone. But just when folks thought the days of ì
the Wild West were over, along came Harry Tracy--a new kind of ì
badman--not a Jesse James--more like a protype for Clyde ì
Barrow.
On June 9, 1902, Harry Tracy shot his way out of the Oregon State ì
Penitentiary in Salem, killing three guards. This violent act ì
started a two-month, two-state manhunt unique in Northwest ì
criminal history. Bill Gulick, dean of Northwest history writers, ì
uses the accounts of newspaper reporters who covered the chase, ì
to paint fascinating portraits of Tracy and his pursuers. Gulick ì
also tells the stories of the men and women of Oregon and ì
Washington who became unwilling participants in the Tracy saga ì
when the fugitive barged into their daily lives.
6 x 9, paperback, 250 pages, illustrated.
