Union MO Bank Robbery Book Signing
On Saturday, April 9, 2022, the Franklin County Missouri Historical Society invited me to give a PowerPoint presentation on the Union Missouri Bank Robbery of 1902. The book covers the robbery, the investigation, two nationwide hunts for the fugitive and a daring break from the St. Louis City Jail.

Two daring robbers, not yet 23 years of age, pulled off a daring robbery by blowing up the safe in the Union Bank in Union, Missouri on the night of December 26, 1902. If their actions had not attracted the attention of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, the most powerful detective agency in the world, they may have gotten away with it.
I cannot stress how well both the society and the presentation participants treated me and my son, who assisted me at the event. We had a wonderful time sharing a love of history with the attendees.
After a question-and-answer session, I signed copies of The Union Missouri Bank Robbery for the participants. I have a few books left over, so I am offering them for sale through our Ebay store. I will personalize each copy upon request. I sign each book and date them if the purchaser does not want a personalized copy.
