Author Tim Ritter will discuss how the Dalton Gang attempted to rob two banks at once, leaving only one member surviving.
The Dalton Gang knew about the failure of the Northfield Bank Robbery and how it destroyed the James-Younger Gang, but they thought they could do better.

Using photographs and animated maps, author and storyteller Tim Ritter will recount what happened and where.
