style of an 1880's newspaper - developed for students in grades 5-12. Outlaws is
a work of historical fiction based on the little known but historically relevant
town of Canyon Diablo - reflecting issues, events and news of 1882 throughout

bridge over Canyon Diablo.

format, journalistic style and vernacular is based upon historic newspapers but
simplified for easier reading.
