The Outlaw Years: The History of the Land Pirates of the Natchez Trace is a non-fiction book written by Robert M. Coates. The book explores the history of the Natchez Trace, a historic trail that ran from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee, and the infamous bandits and outlaws who roamed it during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The book delves into the lives and exploits of notorious figures such as John Murrell, Samuel Mason, and the Harpe brothers, who terrorized travelers along the Trace with their robberies and murders. Coates provides a detailed account of the social and economic conditions that gave rise to these bandits, as well as the efforts of law enforcement and vigilante groups to bring them to justice. The Outlaw Years is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the American South, crime and punishment, and the development of the United States.1930.
