Summary

Often called 'The Wildest of the Wild Bunch', Harvey Logan (aka Kid Curry) and his two brothers rode for Sam Ketcham's Band and Bunch Cassidy's Wild Bunch, robbing trains and banks with regularity and hiding out when the law got too close. Part one tells the story of Harvey Logan, who had a penchant for killing lawmen who were tracking him, and the hold ups he helped pull off, including one great story about the Winnemucca Nevada bank robbery from nevadagram.com that will have you holding your sides.
