Book
Review: Wells, Fargo & Co. A Report of
losses from Stagecoach and Train Robbers
1870-1884, 125 Anniversary Edition by R.
Michael Wilson
is a well written, researched and
complied report that corrects some of
the inconsistencies and errors of the
original report by James B. Hume and John N.
Thacker.
It gives the details of over 400 stagecoach
and train robberies that take place in a
half dozen wild western states and
territories. With Bob Wilson's knack for
storytelling, but sticking to the truth, he
delivers a much more exciting account of
these events that takes the reader back to
the "wild, west" days of outlaws and lawmen.
It is a great read for anyone that is
interested in the law and order of the old
west.
