  abstract: Wanted in America: Posters Collected by the Fort Worth Police Department, 1898-1903 features fifty posters and the fascinating true crime stories behind them. While some of the offenders are virtually unknown today, others, such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, remain household names. You will meet fugitive pickpockets, embezzlers, robbers, kidnappers, murderers and more, along with their associates and their victims. They are a cross-section of America-men and women of all ages, social classes and many races and nationalities. Though the notices were assembled on a local level, they reflect national social and economic changes in a growing population. The fifty posters selected for publication here represent only a small sample of the hundreds available for research. The stories behind the posters demonstrate how twentieth-century advances in mass media distribution, law enforcement techniques, transportation and communication impacted the ability of lawmen to locate the fugitives they sought and the ability of the suspects to stay on the run. They reveal that the game of cat and mouse continued as both hunter and hunted found ways to use technology to their advantage.
