The Shelton Gang Revisited
While slightly disorganized in the earlier chapters, this slim book by a Peoria newspaperman is still an entertaining read and contains some new information on the notorious Shelton brothers of Illinois. While not neglecting their Twenties feud with Charlie Birger and Thirties battles with the Cuckoos gang in East St. Louis, the bulk of the book deals with their latter days in Peoria. Photo quality leaves something to be desired but there are some pictures I haven't seen before. It's well worth picking up though Taylor Pensoneau's "Brothers Notorious" remains the essential biography of the Sheltons.
