Listen "S10 Ep08 Bandit Heaven"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Your History Your Story! In this episode, we journey back to the late 1800s, the final days of the Wild West, when notorious outlaws found refuge in remote hideouts like Robbers Roost, Brown’s Hole and the infamous Hole in the Wall.
We’re joined today by New York Times best-selling author Tom Clavin, who’s here to discuss his latest book, Bandit Heaven: The Hole in the Wall Gangs and the Final Chapter of the Wild West. Tom will share riveting stories of some of the West’s most infamous criminals—names like Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Blackjack Ketchum and Kid Curry. We’ll also hear about the women who stood by their side, and how legendary lawmen such as, Allan Pinkerton and Charlie Siringo, known as the “cowboy detective” played a pivotal role in bringing an end to the lawlessness of that era.
Stay with us as we uncover the fascinating final chapter of the Wild West.
