In a time and place teeming with miners desperate to strike it rich
in the gold rush, the slow-moving stagecoach filled with other
men's fortunes was often a temptation too great to resist. The
treasure-laden express box quickly became a favorite target among
road agents, making stagecoach robbery an enduring part of the
mythology of the Old West.William Brazleton was bold enough to
elude authorities - for a time, anyway - by reversing the direction
of his steed's horseshoes. Arizona's "petticoat bandit" Pearl Hart
liked to rob her stagecoaches with a polite and ladylike .38
caliber revolver. And the last stagecoach robber on the frontier
was practically caught red-handed - his bloody palm print being the
first used as evidence in a U.S. criminal prosecution.Great
Stagecoach Robberies of the Old West tells the stories of hauls too
large, murders too cold-blooded, and bandits too eccentric to fade
into obscurity.
