About this title

Synopsis

Beating Back is a historical book written by Al Jennings and published in 1914. The book chronicles the author's life as a notorious outlaw in the American West during the late 19th century. It details his criminal activities, including bank robberies and train heists, and his eventual capture and imprisonment. However, the book is not solely focused on Jennings' criminal past. It also delves into his personal life and the events that led him to a life of crime. Jennings shares his thoughts on the justice system, his experiences in prison, and his eventual rehabilitation and redemption. Beating Back is a unique firsthand account of a notorious outlaw's life and provides insight into the criminal underworld of the American West during the late 1800s. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Western history, true crime, or the human capacity for redemption.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
