| Summary/Abstract |
LONDON—In 1910, one of the last remaining bands of outlaws of America’s Wild West emerged from their hideout in the Sierra Ladrones Mountains in New Mexico and heisted a Wells Fargo shipment. The Sierra Ladrones (literally, in Spanish, Robbers’ Mountains) are only 45 miles as the crow flies from Albuquerque, but in 1910 there were an un-policed wilderness. The gang retreated with their booty and hid in the canyons. It took two years for the bounty hunters employed by Wells Fargo to track them down, ending inevitably in a final fatal shootout.
