THE OUTLAW YOUNGERS: A CONFEDERATE BROTHERHOOD
They were commited to their family, their friends, and their homeland. During the War between the States they suffered injustice; they somehow weathered unspeakable persecution. All they could do was grab life by the shirtfront and held on for all they were worth. Cole, Jim, John and Bob Younger knew sorrow and anguish, just as they came to know retribution and revenge. The manifestation of their passion resulted in unique rewards of occasional large sums of money and a fame that has endured over a century. Yet along the way they paid a heavy price: the death of their friends and family members, the loss of their ability to experience life as free members of society, their self-respect and ultimately, their own young lives.
