On June 9, 1902, Harry Tracy shot his way out of the Oregon State Penitentiary, killing three guards. The breakout marked the beginning of a two-month, two-state manhunt, unique in Northwest history. Bill Gulick, dean of Northwest history writers, uses the accounts of newspaper reporters who covered the chase to paint a fascinating portrait of Tracy-the first of a new breed of badman that surfaced at the beginning of the twentieth century.
