DOES NOT RESPECT THE RUN

BUT THEY WILL
I honestly did not know that many of these characters are based on historical figures. I thought this was just based on the characters established in Treasure Island, which I also did not realize featured people who actually existed in reality. Do you guys have any recommendations what books/resources I should look for to read up on how this all went down? It would be awesome if a writer like Erik Larson tackled the subject since his books read more like novels rather than dry, boring history text books.
