Review

"["A Knight of Another Sort"] has the authenticity that comes from expert scholarship; the reading pleasure that comes from a fine writing talent; and the insights and understanding that come from Gary's having grown up in 'Charlie Birger country.' For the first time, the veil of dusty legend that has so long obscured the real personality has been cleared away, and DeNeal has revealed the complex and tragic lineaments of one of southern Illinois' most fascinating heroes."--Henry Dan Piper, coauthor of "Land Between the Rivers " "DeNeal's research and recording, into one book, of all of the data on Charlie Birger and his contemporary cutthroats is a masterpiece not only in criminal history, but it is interestingly woven into a period of Illinois history that attracts 'old-timers' like me."--Harold Hartley, author of "Way Down in Egyptland""" "["A Knight of Another Sort"] has the authenticity that comes from expert scholarship; the reading pleasure that comes from a fine writing talent; and the insights and understanding that come from Gary's having grown up in 'Charlie Birger country.'
