Inleiding tot Unie, MO Bank Roof

Op Kersnag 1902, twee klein dorpie, kleintyd, holdup men blew open the safe of the Union, Missouri Bank. Nadat hy 'n paar burgers gedreig het, hulle het weggetrek met oor $15,000.

Die mans was vir 'n paar maande relatief veilig totdat die Pinkerton-speuragentskap ingeroep is. Die Pinkertons het 'n landwye agentskap gehad, which was the closest thing the United States had to a national police force. Pinkerton private detectives investigated major crimes in every large American city.

The Pinkerton detective assigned to the bank robbery succeeded, where the local authorities had failed. He identified the robbers. Leading a raiding party to their rural Missouri property, the agent and local sheriff’s deputies were ambushed. During the gun fight, the robbers killed the Pinkerton detective.

This murder activated the machine, which was the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Over two cross-country pursuits, a jail escape, two trials and planned executions, the Pinkerton Agency doggedly pursued justice for its agent.

This book details the robbery and the aftermath, while trying to answer the following questions. Was justice served in this case? Were two desperate criminals killed to protect the community? Or where two men, barely old enough to vote, killed to satisfy the desire for revenge from one of the most powerful detective agencies in United States history? Here is the action packed story of the Union, Missouri Bank Robbery.
