I found a couple of great books by TD Griffith that really satisfied that need! "Outlaw Tales of South Dakota" and "Outlaw Tales of Nebraska" were really enjoyable books to get me in a mood for our road trip!
These two books go together like... well Nebraska and South Dakota. Also, I have always linked these two states together, like siblings. In my brain they are connected tighter than the two Dakotas.
Oh, and check out the great covers on both! I know my bad photo doesn't do them justice, but each book has a beautifully painted front. Check 'em out!
So, each book contains around a dozen short stories about outlaws in the state. Most have a very "old west" vibe going on, though each book ends with a somewhat more modern tale (think 40s and 50s). Horse races, hanging, card games and prostitutes are all over the books.
