Get ready to venture into the gritty underbelly of post-Civil War Kansas with us, as we expose the chilling tales of the state's most notorious outlaws. We're dusting off an article from the Kansas Magazine, a deep-dive into the state's darkest past, co-authored by our very own producer Mike King. Guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat, we lay bare the unfiltered realities of the March Madness-style showdown where each criminal's deeds are weighed, debated, and ranked to identify the worst of the worst.
Stirring up the shadows, we go one-on-one with the chilling narratives of Jim Curry and Henry Brown, two names that struck fear into the heart of Kansas. Discover the lawless journey of Curry, a man whose life of crime even saw him cross paths with Maurice Barrymore, patriarch of the famed Barrymore family. Then, prepare for the gut-wrenching tale of Henry Brown whose shocking betrayal of his badge made him one of Kansas's most despised figures. From their involvement in the Civil War to their own personal demons, we strip back the legends to reveal the men behind these infamous outlaws. Click Here to Subscribe to Kansas Magazine
