A biography of "Black Bart, [who] was not the Old West's only stagecoach robber, but ... quickly became the most famous. To many people, he was a folk hero, a robber who didn't threaten or harm passengers. He was a bandit with a sense of humor who wrote poetry.

His gun, it turned out, was never loaded"--Provided by publisher.
