The adventure begins ....
The stories you are about to read are true and (mostly) accurate accounts from the life and times of various outlaws and bank robbers who roamed the Midwest during the "Golden Age" of bank robbing ... 1920-1935. Such people as George "Baby Face" Nelson, John Dillinger, Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd, Alvin "Old Creepy" Karpis, Arthur "Doc" Barker and his brother Freddie, George "Machine Gun" Kelly, Clyde Barrow and others, cris-crossed the Midwest leaving fear and death in their wake. Their stories aren't pretty. But for a short time, these men captured the imagination of a nation ... and brought frustration to law enforcement. So, if you are ready for a wild ride, click on any of the tabs at the left ... and let the adventure begin.
(Oh, and by the way, like most everything in life, there are two sides to a story. A lot of these stories have "alternate endings." The deaths of Nelson and Floyd ... the capture of Alvin Karpis ... the gunfight at Little Bohemia ... the Kansas City Massacre investigation, to name a few. All of these stories, and others like them, are slightly different depending on who is telling the story. So make sure you read all the stories linked to a particular person or incident. (Oh, and we post new photos and stories all the time, so check in regularly.)
Enjoy the ride ...
