Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 1, 1885, Wells, Fargo & Company's chief detective James B. Hume and special agent John N. Thacker published a report summarizing the company's losses during the previous 14 years. It listed 313 stagecoach robberies, 23 burglaries, and four train robberies but included little or no details of the events themselves, focusing instead on physical descriptions of the robbers. Widely circulated, the report was intended to assist law enforcement in identifying and apprehending the criminals believed still to present a danger to the company. The present volume revisits each crime, updating Hume and Thacker's original report with rich new details culled from local newspapers, personal diary entries, and court records.

Download or read book Wells, Fargo & Co. Report of Losses from Train and Stagecoach Robbers, 1870-1884 written by R. Michael Wilson and published by StageCoach Books. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 1, 1885 Wells, Fargo & Company's chief detective James B. Hume and special agent John N. Thacker published a report of the company's losses over the previous 14 years. The report gave a listing of crimes and a detailed description of 188 road agents [18 had died and were not described]. But the report had another purpose, to provide lawmen throughout the west with a textual “mug book” of potentially recidivist road agents who might again victimize the company. This report had inconsistencies in formatting and errors of fact, some critical, but lacked details of the thrilling robberies; the pursuits, arrests, and trials; the convictions and prison terms. The 125th Anniversary edition corrects these shortcomings. It gives the details of over 400 stagecoach and train robberies and a few burglaries where Wells, Fargo treasure boxes held the plunder. These events take place in a half dozen wild west states and territories, focusing mainly on California where the company had its main office and conducted the greater part of its business.
