The notorious Reno Gang : the wild story of the West's first brotherhood of thieves, assassins, and train robbers / Rachel Dickinson.
They were the first outlaws to rob a moving train--shocking the world by raiding the Adams Express car of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad on October 6, 1866. But for years, the Reno brothers' gang of counterfeiters, thieves, and safecrackers also held the town of Seymour, Indiana hostage. And they made burgeoning outlaws like Jesse James take notice. The efforts to take them out-- marked by kidnappings and lynchings --defined the term "frontier justice." In the end, ten members of the Reno Gang were hanged, and no one was ever charged with the murders. The Notorious Reno Gang reveals how these brothers, these gangsters, and the little city of Seymour ushered in the Wild West.
