520 _a"Rube Burrow, King of Outlaws, and His Band of Train Robbers: An Accurate and Faithful History of Their Exploits and Adventures" by G. W. Agee is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and crimes of Rube Burrow, a notorious outlaw and train robber, along with the adventures of his gang against the backdrop of post-Civil War America. Through detailed retellings, the narrative explores the characters involved, particularly Burrow and his brother Jim, as they navigate their lawless pursuits and the consequences of their actions. The opening of the book sets the stage by detailing Rube Burrow's origins in Lamar County, Alabama, and the familial background that shaped his outlaw identity. It introduces the reader to the atmosphere of the region post-Civil War, characterized by economic hardship and lawlessness. Using a blend of biographical sketches and vivid descriptions, Agee illustrates how Burrow's upbringing, combined with external influences, led him into a life of crime. The narrative hints at Burrow's youthful ambitions and the events that would spiral into a series of daring train robberies, as well as the impact of his criminal activities on his family and community.
