The Big, Bad Book of Bill

About the Book

William seems like such a regal name. Wrong! This name is held by some of history's most notorious criminals, scoundrels and utter failures. In this book, you'll encounter killers, con men, spies, mobsters, and corrupt politicians-all named William or Bill. Meet the butcher who sparked mayhem in early New York, the men who murdered to satisfy their thirst for whiskey and a few of the Wild West's most infamous gunslingers. It's the perfect book for anyone named William, Bill or Willie.
