by Mark Svenvold (Author)
The unbelievably true story of an American outlaw, who became shockingly notorious years after his death.
"Poignant, pathetic, and relentlessly hilarious." --The Washington Post When Elmer McCurdy was shot dead by an Oklahoma sheriff and his posse after a short spree of bungled robberies, he was not laid to rest. Leaning in a corner for a nickel-a-look at the Joseph Johnson Funeral Home, exhibited as a felled outlaw at the sideshows of the Great Patterson Carnival, propped up to illustrate the dangers of marijuana and other vices in Hollywood exploitation movies--Elmer McCurdy became big business. This is his story.Author Biography
