Bill Carlisle, Lone Bandit: An Autobiography is a book written by Bill Carlisle, detailing his life as a notorious outlaw and bank robber in the early 20th century. The book covers Carlisle's upbringing in rural Tennessee, his early criminal activities, and his eventual rise to infamy as a member of the notorious Barrow Gang, alongside Bonnie and Clyde. Carlisle provides a firsthand account of his numerous bank robberies, prison escapes, and run-ins with the law.
