Some of America's most infamous criminals and outlaws lived and died in the area, including John Paul Chase, partner of Public Enemy Number One, Lester Baby Face Nelson Gillis. Others have come from far afield to exploit the opportunities of Californian crime. Englishman Charles Boles, AKA Black Bart the Poet, was only one of many.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith crime, naturally, comes punishment. In 1937, the Folsom Five tried to escape, murdering Warden Clarence Larkin in the process. Instead of escaping Folsom, they entered California's history as the first men to die in its new gas chamber the next year. The legendary Battle of Alcatraz ended in bloodshed and recriminations from prison staff and convicts alike, with accusations that staff needlessly endangered convicts' lives and arranged the wrongful execution of convict Sam Shockley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNorthern California may not be as well-known for its crime as Southern California, but it's a fascinating part of the Golden State's history all the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Walsh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1634992385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781634992381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e America Through Time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Robert Walsh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990769893631,"sku":"9781634992381","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f2653a2-0df3-486e-a871-586d63326dba.jpg?v=1683306578","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murders-mysteries-and-misdemeanors-in-robert-walsh-9781634992381","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
