See all formats and editions

Jailbirds and Stool Pigeons is a study of human weakness.

Featuring true crime stories of the Pacific Northwest from the 1880s to 1935, this book is full of flawed characters.

Tom McCarty, mentor to Butch Cassidy and Matt Warner, led his clan into a life of crime showing no remorse for crimes they committed.

Charles McDonald and George Frankhauser robbed a train but fielded to the pleasures of the flesh-then they were doomed.

The Folsom thirteen killed to be free from prison, but they could never escape their guilt.

Frank 'Frigidaire' Grigware fell prey to an easy money scheme and ended up in jail, but not for long.

These are just some of the lives that were touched by the events chronicled in this book.
