The Younger Brothers (above) and the James Gang didn't have cellphones to coordinate their foiled 1876 Northfield Bank Robbery, but if they had, they may have improved their outcome.
We watched the reenactment of the famous bank robbery at the Defeat of Jesse James Days in Northfield today. Bought our buttons, enjoyed the experience, even in the brutal heat. Glad we weren't wearing boots and dusters or the billowy outfits on the left. We made a movie with the new camera. Lots of yelling, gunshots and running horses. Our very own western. Watch for it.
Now we know for sure. This is the actual bank. |
