Summary: "The Outlaws of Cave-in-Rock" by Otto A. Rothert is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the notorious figures of highwaymen and river pirates who operated in the Ohio and Mississippi river basins during the early days of American expansion. It focuses on the infamous location of Cave-in-Rock, which served as a haven for these criminals, and sheds light on notorious outlaws like the Harpes and Samuel Mason, offering a glimpse into their violent tales. At the start of the narrative, Rothert sets the stage by describing the geographical and historical significance of Cave-in-Rock, detailing its transformation from a natural wonder into a hideout for outlaws during a lawless time in American history. The opening chapters outline the purpose of the book; to sift through historical records and folklore to document the criminal exploits that struck terror into the hearts of settlers. It highlights the brutal actions of various outlaws, drawing on court records and newspaper accounts that chronicle their crimes, thus establishing the cave as a symbol of lawlessness and the harsh realities of pioneer life.
