A #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
On October 5, 1892, the Dalton Gang attempted the most brazen heist of that era: robbing two banks in broad daylight in Coffeyville, Kansas, simultaneously. As the gang crossed the plaza to enter the two banks, the Daltons were recognized by townspeople. Citizens armed themselves with weapons from nearby hardware stores and were ready for the gang when they tried to leave the banks. The ensuing gun battle was a firefight of epic proportions. For the first time ever, the full story of the Dalton Gang's life of crime, culminating in this violent heist, are chronicled in detail.
