Ep 272 - America's first train robbery
Manage episode 419036170 series 2435723
In May of 1865, something happened that had never happened before. Twenty bandits derailed a train for the purpose of robbing its passengers and stealing bonds from its safe. The event, which happened in the Hamilton County village of North Bend, marked an evolution of the old highwaymen who used to rob stagecoaches. It was an era that also ended in Ohio, with the last great train heist recorded in Garrettsville, Ohio in 1935.
