The Banditti of the Prairies continues a tale of river thefts
An alibi filled account follows ambitious horse thefts along the Mississippi frontier. A pursuer navigates Bowling Green, Terre Haute, and Indianapolis to recover stolen horses, trap a lawyer, and press Fox for clues. The narrative traces Long Birch and Fox, their plans, and a tense pursuit across Indiana and Ohio.
