Description:

This is the true story of murder, mayhem and serial killings that occurred in the United States over three years at a most unlikely time and place. This true story remains one of the least discussed in American criminal history. Before Billy the Kid, before the James Gang, the prototype Old West Outlaws, the Reno Brothers Gang lived and died. More than a repetition of facts, this new book takes a modern look at the social and political dynamics that lead to one of the darkest periods of American culture. Key historic events • The world’s first train robbery • Dozens of robberies and murders by Reno Gang members • The only known case of a prisoner extradited from a foreign country killed before their trial while in United States protective custody • The mass murders of the Reno Gang by lynching
