Willis Newton The True Story of the Notorious Newton Gang (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781794850309)

Willis Newton and his outlaw gang robbed trains and over seventy banks-more than Jessie James, the Daltons, and Bonnie & Clyde combined. Their biggest haul occurred in 1924 when they robbed a train outside of Rondout, Illinois-getting away with $3,000,000. They still hold the record for the biggest train robbery in U.S. history. The author interviewed Willis Newton a few months before the outlaw died in 1979 at age 90. Using transcripts from interviews, first-hand accounts from eye witnesses, newspaper articles, police records, and trial proceedings - the book tells the true story of Willis Newton and the Notorious Newton gang.
