Outlaw Tales of....... by TD Griffith

As we planned out our trip to South Dakota, I was itching to read some books about cowboys and outlaws in the area.

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.
