The Highwayman-a pirate, robber, and murderer on horseback who terrorized the heaths and dirt roads of London at the turn of the eighteenth Century, these villains were a subterranean society of cutthroats -infesting the rank underbelly of an incredibly violent town. First published in 1735, "Tyburn Death Trip" describes the crimes and executions of over one hundred highwaymen and other criminals, bringing to life the primal, untamed nature of an England where brutal crime was rife and retribution swift and terrible.
