Now here's an interesting site. It provides all the basic stuff you've read about Dillinger, but it also provides a variety of things you didn't know about the most infamous of the Depression-era bankrobbers. It's a nice, clean site and well worth a visit. |
What is it about this guy that so captivates our imagination? If you don't know much about him, this site's for you. It's Dillinger 101, but that doesn't mean it's a simple site. It's well organized and provides a host of other links. Enjoy. |

Now here was a group of bad boys. Ma Barker's murdering sons and Canadian-born Alvin "Old Creepy" Karpis. They robbed, killed and kidnapped their way through the Depression-era, and they lasted longer on the streets than most others of their professional calling. The site provides a lot of background and links. |
Charles Arthur Floyd, that loveable lug from the Cookson Hills of Oklahoma. Depending on who you talk to, he was a heartless killer or a true Robin Hood. You can be the judge with this pleasant little site. |

OK, so Capone doesn't exactly qualify as an "outlaw." But, hey, he certainly left his mark in criminal history. He said he was simply filling a void. He gave America something it wanted - beer. Here's a site that gives you something - a good overview of the man and his times. It also features a great collection of Capone items. Worth a visit. |
Adam Richetti may not be as well known as Barrow, Dillinger and a few others, but he was every bit as important to the criminal history of the 1930s. Although he had a career of his own, he is known as "Pretty Boy" Floyd's partner. Sadly, like Floyd, he is most remembered for his part in the Kansas City Massacre - something for which he may have had nothing to do with. |

Here's a fun little site. It's dedicated to one of the Depression Era's forgotten bankrobbers, Harvey Bailey. This veteran robber didn't get a lot of headlines. Not because he wasn't good, but because he was very good. He didn't go in for all the showmanship the younger robbers did. Old Harv robbed banks for the old fashioned reason - he enjoyed it. |
