Description
In October 1923, three brothers held up a train headed south from Ashland. Instead of making off with the loot, however, they killed four people and led police on a worldwide manhunt.
Newspapers called it “the crime of the century.” It came to be known as “The Last Great American Train Robbery.”
But it was actually a total failure. So why do people still talk and write songs about it? What was so great about this heist?
