Bass and gang pursue a caper filled chase through Texas
Jim Murphy recounts a rough journey with Sam Bass and companions from Frankfort through East Fork to Kaufmann and Terrell. The gang debates betrayal and murder, eyes a bank, contemplates cashing pistols, and evades locals while moving toward planned robberies. The tale features Henry Collins, Sebe Barnes, Frank Jackson, and uneasy loyalties amid nightly camps and near bank escapes.
