“Separating fact from fiction, this book details the events leading up to and following the attempted robbery of the First National Bank in Northfield, MN. On September 7, 1876, the James-Younger Gang led a disastrous raid on this small farming community, which soon culminated into what was once the largest manhunt in U.S. history. Using period news articles, recorded eyewitness accounts, township maps, census, records and government land office records, this book will take you on the historically accurate, day-by-day pursuit of the notorious gang as they fled for their lives through southwest Minnesota, Dakota Territory and into Iowa.” From back of book.
