For the last 150 years, a rag-tag collection of cop-killers, common crooks, muggers and their molls have made their way across the vast expanses of South Dakota's Great Plains. It remains one of the last best places to hide. Author Tom Griffith invites readers on a ride through yesteryear, when outlaws roamed the prairies and hid out in the Black Hills, tempting fate and frequently taking their last breath at the end of a rope or the wrong end of a loaded gun. Griffith has written and co-authored more than 40 books for major publishers and his feature writing has appeared in magazines and newspapers throughout the world. He currently writes for the Rapid City Journal. Griffith is presenting this week's Picnic on the Lawn lecture at the Historic Adams House on Friday at noon MT.
