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.
