Into the Sunset by Ian W Shaw

Into the Sunset by Ian W Shaw

Tells the remarkable story of Emmett Dalton and how he and his brothers drifted from one side of the law to the other in the frontier lands of the late nineteenth century. It is the story of shoot-em-ups and train robberies, of the closing frontier, and of what desperate men in desperate times do to survive.

Ian WShaw has produced a high-powered narrative biography of the notable westerner Emmett Dalton. The author clearly achieves his admirable goal of a first-rate Wild West story of this lively Old West figure. In all ways an enjoyable read." - Richard W. Etulain, author of Thunder in the West: The Life and Legends of Billy the Kid and The Life and Legends of Calamity Jane

"While many accounts of the Dalton Gang end on the streets of Coffeyville, Ian Shaw goes much further, diving deep into the formative biography and subsequent life of Emmet Dalton, the only outlaw to survive the daring double bank robbery. The author succeeds in providing an impressive level of detail surrounding these iconic events and the people who figured in them. Shaw has written a highly readable narrative that illustrates the complex and sometimes confusing interplay between law and crime, fame and notoriety." - John Kinney, author of Captain Jack and the Dalton Gang: The Life and Times of a Railroad Detective

Ian W. Shaw has published eight books of Australian and military history, including The Rag Tag Fleet: The Unknown Story of the Australian Men and Boats That Helped Win the War in the Pacific and Operation Babylift: The Incredible Story of the Inspiring Australian Women Who Rescued Hundreds of Orphans at the End of the Vietnam War.
