About this listen
As the Great Depression hit the United States in 1929, it unleashed a resurgence of the "Wild West" outlaw environment of the 19th century. Into this vacuum of banditry and media stardom came Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger and Pretty Boy Floyd.
Professor Joseph Spillane joins me to talk about these latter-day American outlaws of the 1920s and 1930s and how and why they reached the levels of infamy associated with the Old Western bandits.
