From Booklist
There's a fine line between being a desperado and being just plain desperate. The James-Younger gang discovered this crucial distinction one ill-fated day when they set out to rob a Yankee bank in Northfield, Minnesota, a town they figured would be easily cowed by a few rebel yells. No master tacticians--their basic plan being to ride into town and, if the moment feels ripe, then go ahead and rob the bank; if not, ride on--it's no big surprise that everything goes straight to hell, along with a few of the bandits themselves. Boggs recounts the action from a different perspective in each chapter, from the James brothers--reckless and violent Jesse and scripture-quoting Frank--to a five-year-old daughter of a murdered bank teller not quite able to get what all the fuss is about, to indignant members of the subsequent posses. The kaleidoscopic effect pays handsome rewards, fueling the action from all vantage points in concise, frenetic bursts that might even leave you feeling a mite poorly for those doomed outlaws.
