Acclaimed author Jack Olsen tackles the polarizing case of Claude Dallas, Jr. in Give a Boy a Gun. In 1981, Dallas, a self-styled mountain man living off the grid, killed Idaho Fish & Game officers Conley Elms and Bill Pogue in a remote wilderness confrontation. Olsen masterfully chronicles Dallas's life as a renegade poacher, the nationwide manhunt that followed the killings, and the sensational trial where Dallas was controversially convicted of manslaughter, becoming a folk hero to some, a cold killer to others.
