Description

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.
