Thread Name: BS: The Northfield Bank Raid
Subject: RE: BS: The Northfield Bank Raid
Well, I myself don't have direct proof, since they were all dead before I was born. But Charlie Pitts was shot dead and the Youngers wounded and eventually sentenced to prison in Stillwater. Jesse and Frank James were wounded but managed to escape back to Missouri.
The Daltons weren't involved in this one -- I was confusing them with the Youngers. The Daltons had their own come-uppance in Coffeyville, Kansas in 1892, when of the five would-be robbers who entered the bank only Grat Dalton survived (wounded) to be imprisoned.
But hey! The James, Dalton, and Younger families were all related!
