Reviews
"An original work fully supported by sound scholarship, Men of No Reputation will prove indispensable to regional historians, legal scholars, and afficionados of the American underworld." --Eric B. Easton, author of The Life and Crimes of Jared Flagg: Adventures of a Gilded Age Huckster, Swindler, and Pimp, " Men of No Reputation is about the confidence racket in the Ozarks circa 1900, but along the way Kimberly Harper gives a compelling account of local politics, prizefighting, foot races, attitudes toward crime, and much else. I finished reading this wonderfully written book feeling I'd just been educated." --Daniel Woodrell,author of Winter's Bone, "Harper's finely tuned study of this successful con-artist gang shows how capitalist dreams blurred into criminal schemes as confidence men, shady bankers, perfidious cops, and crooked politicians turned a bustling Ozarks community into a swindler's paradise. Men of No Reputation brings to life a forgotten story of greed and corruption that sounds a timely warning amid today's cons, big and small. For readers interested in charlatans and their marks, this book is a sure bet." --Jarod Roll, author of Poor Man's Fortune: White Working-Class Conservativism in American Metal Mining, 1850-1950, "Masterfully woven and grounded in meticulous use of newspapers and court records, Men of No Reputation is a solid, flesh-on-the-bones contribution to the literature on American confidence men. Harper leaves no stone unturned as she tracks down a sophisticated, understudied gang of Ozark swindlers who fleeced high-stakes suckers in rigged foot races and prizefights at the turn of the twentieth century. A further reminder of the American culture of greed and crime in an age of flimflam and humbug." --Gregg Andrews, author of Shantyboats and Roustabouts: The River Poor of St. Louis, 1875-1930
