In the late nineteenth century, Tom Ketchum and his brother Sam formed the Ketchum Gang-with Will Carver and Dave Atkins-and became successful train robbers. Eventually Tom Ketchum was caught and sentenced to death for attempting to hold up a railway train. He became the first individual-and the last-ever to be executed for a crime of this sort. He was hanged in 1901, his head torn away by the rope as he fell from the gallows. Jeffrey Burton has been researching the story of the Ketchum Gang for more than forty years. He sorts fact from fiction to provide the definitive truth about Ketchum and numerous other outlaws, including Ben Kilpatrick and Butch Cassidy.
