Download or read book Stagecoach Robberies in California written by R. Michael Wilson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California was the mining center of the West for half a century. Wherever precious minerals were found, road agents appeared to "mine the roads" of treasure being shipped out and payrolls being shipped in. The first recorded robbery of a stagecoach occurred in 1856, and the last in 1913. Over that period there were 458 stagecoach robberies, many with special characteristics such as a claim the robbers were Confederate soldiers, a murder, a gun battle, or a thrilling pursuit and capture. Surprisingly, there were many robberies in which the perpetrator remained unknown or in which was so little stolen the robber was not even sought out. This book gives all the details of those robberies taken from the contemporary newspapers and from a variety of other sources.

Download or read book Massacre at Wickenburg written by R. Michael Wilson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The massacre at Wickenburg was one of the most notorious crimes committed in the Wild West--a story revealed in this book through a criminal investigation. November 5, 1871. A westbound stagecoach carrying seven men and one woman left Wickenburg in the early morning hours. At 8:00 a.m., six of the passengers were shot dead. One man and the lone woman, severely wounded, escaped into the desert. Debates raged over the identity of the murderous ambushers -- Indians? Mexican bandits? The two survivors? After a massive investigation, the U.S. Army concluded that a band of local Yavapai Indians were responsible, which led to a policy of "removal and concentration" that altered the fate of nearly every Indian in America's Southwest. Wilson, a longtime law enforcement officer who has spent decades researching 19th century crimes, presents the first book about this notorious crime and its resulting fallout. This is an intriguing look into the past, and a riveting story that reads like a mystery novel. R. Michael Wilson has served as a consultant for "The History Channel" about crimes of the Old West and the author of several books, including Great Train Robberies of the Old West. He lives in Las Vegas.
Download or read book Great Stagecoach Robberies of the Old West written by R. Michael Wilson and published by Two Dot Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stagecoach robbers evolved as a consequence of the discovery of gold or silver, or some other mineral treasure, and a town would "spring forth from the earth" overnight. Roads were soon built and stage lines began operating. A "pitching Betsy" would take out bullion and dust and bring in payrolls, always through country that was rough and isolated. The temptation to get rich quickly was too great for some, and the demand, "Hold! Throw out that treasure box!" was heard all too often in the Old West. Most robberies were never solved, but many robbers were caught, indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced. This book includes a collection of 15-20 of the most thrilling stagecoach robberies from 1875-1905.

Download or read book Assault on the Deadwood Stage written by Robert K. DeArment and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1870s, Deadwood was a thriving—and largely lawless—boomtown. And as any fan of western history and films knows, stagecoach robberies were a regular feature of life in this fabled region of Dakota Territory. Now, for the first time, Robert K. DeArment tells the story of the "good guys and bad guys" behind these violent crimes: the road agents who wreaked havoc on Deadwood's roadways and the shotgun messengers who battled to protect stagecoach passengers and their valuable cargo. DeArment shows in dramatic detail how for two years gangs of robbers ruled the road, perpetrating holdups and killings, until lawmen and stage-company and railroad agents finally brought an end to the mayhem. The characters populating this violent tale include such legendary figures as Wild Bill Hickok and the famous railroad detective James L. "Whispering" Smith, a formidable opponent of bandits. We also get to know the men who operated the stages, the lawmen and company men who ran and defended the coaches, and the outlaws who fought against them. DeArment tells where these men came from and what became of them after the outlawry ended. He ends his account in the 1880s with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show and its spectacular rendition of a shotgun robbery, featuring an actual Deadwood stagecoach. After nearly a century and a half, the Deadwood stage continues to command our attention.

Every summer afternoon the streets of downtown Jackson Hole shut down and the Wild West is real again as the oldest gunfight in the west plays out for gathered tourists. There's no way in or out until after the shootout players have taken their bows and they've passed the hat for tips-the ultimate tourist trap. Sadie Moose usually avoids town square in the height of tourist season, but when her dad asks her to stand in for a player out sick so he won't miss his big debut as an outlaw, she begrudgingly dons the saloon girl costume. Things are going great until the stagecoach screeches onto the scene and the actor inside misses his cue. With a bit of improv, Sadie opens the door...and finds the actor dead inside. Sadie isn't planning on getting involved, no matter how curious she is, but then her dad is named as a suspect. To clear his name, she'll infiltrate the local rodeo, skulk around the Jackson Hole Playhouse, and go from t-shirt shop to ice cream parlor on town square searching for the real killer. As she gets closer to an answer, she faces increasing threats from the killer and rising tension with Police Detective Will Nolan...both because she's in the middle of his case yet again, and because he keeps threatening to take her on a date.
