He was very much on the frontlines of some of the biggest diplomatic challenges of the generation and it was interesting to get the unvarnished challenges of life overseas and diplomacy in general. What is life if it's not all those things. I have enjoyed this entire series, my only complaint is that the author jumped all over the place throughout the books and I felt this last book had a good but poor ending to it, in that it seemed like the author was trying to rush to finish the book and call it good. I enjoyed the selection of photos that I saw at the Denver art museum so I ordered the whole book. This book has brought me new perspective and understanding.

ut as soon as the lawmen got close, he disappeared into the bayous and pine forests--until one day his luck ran out, and he was gunned down inside a general store in Atmore, Alabama.Little is known about Railroad Bill before his infamy--not his real name or his origins. His first recorded crime, carrying a repeating rifle without a license, led him into a gunfight with a deputy and made him a wanted man throughout Florida in 1894. His most celebrated escape--a five-day foot chase with scores of men and several bloodhounds--led to tales of Railroad's supernatural ability to transmogrify into an animal or inanimate object at will. As his crimes progressed from robbing boxcars to wounding trainmen to murdering sheriffs, more and more reward money was offered for his capture--dead or alive.Today, Railroad Bill is the subject of many folk songs popularized by singers such as Paul McCartney, Taj Mahal, Gillian Welch, and Ramblin' Jack Elliot. But who was he? Where did he come from? What events led to his murderous spree? And why did some view him as a hero?In Railroad Bill, Larry Massey separates fact from myth and teases out elusive truths from tall tales to ultimately reveal the man behind the bandit's mask.
