Collecting American Outlaws

Description
-
Wilbur Zink collects items once owned by outlaws, particularly the Younger and James brothers. Some of the treasures include Jim Younger's violin and 25 letters from Frank James to his wife Anna, written while he was in jail awaiting trial. Zink's collecting led to research and writing books, like "The Roscoe Gun Battle" [MVSC 977.846 Z78R ]. He lives in Springfield, Missouri. Along with author Marley Brant, they purchased the Younger homestead, a two-story, pre-Civil War home, which was then donated to the Cass County Historical Society.
