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.
