In January 1, 1885, Wells, Fargo & Company's chief detective
James B. Hume and special agent John N. Thacker published a report
summarizing the company's losses during the previous 14 years. It
listed 313 stagecoach robberies, 23 burglaries, and four train
robberies but included little or no details of the events
themselves, focusing instead on physical descriptions of the
robbers. Widely circulated, the report was intended to assist law
enforcement in identifying and apprehending the criminals believed
still to present a danger to the company. The present volume
revisits each crime, updating Hume and Thacker's original report
with rich new details culled from local newspapers, personal diary
entries, and court records.
