I'm surprised that any of these guys lived very long at all, considering what a dangerous trade they had chosen. If y6ou made it past 30, that was an accomplishment. Thanks to the history channel for this story and video.
Coffee inside again today, because of (you guessed it) rain!
I remember seeing this on the TV show The Real West - hosted by Kenny Rogers. It was so interesting. You are right , it is amazing that anyone of them lived past 30.
ReplyDeleteHey Linda...
ReplyDeleteYeah, it really surprised me, that's for sure.
Thanks for stopping by today!
I also had seen this on TV it really was good. But to shoot him in the back of the head was so cowardly and why wasn't Ford hung for his part in all those robberies?
ReplyDeleteCamping trip canceled because of high heat here. So I will be here to join in the coffee get together's for now but what better way to spend these next few hot days
Hey Jo...
ReplyDeleteIt was a very cowardly thing to do, without a doubt. As far as all the robberies...I have no idea.
Why not get a small wading pool that you and Fred can enjoy together? Might be fun!
