THE HISTORY OF VIRGIL A. STEWART, AND HIS ADVENTURE IN CAPTURING AND EXPOSING THE GREAT "WESTERN LAND PIRATE" AND HIS GANG.... Murrell and his gang were notorious as thugs, murderers, and organizers of slave uprisings, but there is good reason to believe that Virgil Stewart fabricated much of their image to make himself look good once Murrell was captured. In fact, Stewart may have played a part in the land pirates' schemes, which consisted mainly of persuading slaves to escape, then selling them back into slavery elsewhere. "The earliest account of a detective's experiences in bringing to justice the Murrell gang of outlaws" - Adams.
