What sort of person undertakes to rob a multi-ton train surging
down a set of rails at high speed? For the Old West’s most famous
outlaws, including Jesse James, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,
the Dalton Gang, and Black Jack Ketchum, it was as much about the
thrill of the crime as the riches to be won, thumbing their noses
at the authorities, and getting away with their crimes more often
than not. These men, and at least one woman, were dare devils, rule
breakers, adventurers, and rebels. In addition to their train
robberies, they led colorful, dramatic, and dangerous lives. The
Old West's Infamous Train Robbers and their Historic Heists
profiles sixteen noted train robbers (or train robbing gangs) along
with the details of each their forty-seven hold-ups. The mechanics
of each of their train robberies—planning, execution, and
escape—are dissected and discussed. Pertinent background
information relating to each outlaw/gang is included as well as
what became of them following their train robbery days.
