Great story! Sundance & friends weren't too good at train robbing first time out! Forgetting to rob the passengers was a huge mistake. Getting identified is even worse - and those 8 and 10-year sentences the boys got is nothing to laugh at. Voted and Resteemed, keep 'em coming! :-)

Well thank you so much sir Keith! yes sir, most of the time those prison sentences were such and such years "at hard labor"..now, I don't know what that means exactly but knowing society back then I think it must have been pretty tough! I should do a post on prison terms back in the 1800's and what it was like.
Whatever it was like, I'm sure it was much harder than today! Sounds like a good idea for a post.
I think I might check it out. At least we didn't send them to Canada, that would have been cruel and unusual punishment!
Right. Or Kansas or Texas. Those places would be extra cruel. I've been to both of them, and I know.
haha! well in the summer they might think they're in hell if they're in Texas and I've had so many people tell me how horrible it was driving across Kansas and they thought they'd never get to the other side and it was the most boring trip of their lives! lol.
Of course... that's why any sane person would drive across Nebraska or South Dakota instead. Or better yet... fly over! ;-)
yes, there's a reason they call it "fly-over" country!
