Introduction
America has always had its bandits, starting with the American revolutionaries who disguised themselves as Indians and dumped a ship load of British tea overboard to protest import duties. From there history moved on to the post Civil War years when Carpetbaggers took advantage of vulnerable, defeated Southerners. Next came the gun-toting Western bandits who robbed stagecoaches and killed each other for blood money.
Taken separately, some pillaged for profit, some to maintain independence, some because it was the unstated law of the land ... but none for the enjoyment of causing trouble, such as is the case today with the infamous Hells Angels.
There appears to be an awesome fascination with these hell-raising marauders who patrol the West Coast with Gestapo intensity, ripping up restaurants, gas stations and whatever strikes their fancy, as petrified citizens stand helplessly by. Newspapers devour all flare-ups involving them; books have been written on their secret initiations, and anyone driving down the highway and is suddenly overtaken by a rough riding biker immediately utters a fearfully hushed: "Hells Angels."
Nobody is forced into joining the Hells Angels. They wear their emblems with pride.
Following is a fascinating account of a minister's daughter who is turned out on the streets and inadvertently meets up with the gang and is kidnapped by them to prove a member's trust. On a long, lawless ride, she witnesses and falls prey to their drunken orgies, their reign of terror. She is mocked, raped, and twice narrowly escapes death at the hands of an insanely jealous biker's 'old lady.'
We trust this is a novel you will enjoy reading more than once, a novel that will help the general public to understand the mysterious attraction behind the skull and crossbones.
