South Bend, Indiana--more famous for football--was the scene of a notorious bank robbery in 1934 that featured an all-star cast of Depression Era outlaws who eventually met their demise after temporarily getting away with the loot. Clavin chronicles the ignominious end for those once famous miscreants--Dillinger, Pretty Boy, Baby Face, and Ma Barker. It's a hell of a read about a hellish cast.
My great grandfather was Lucius LaFortune. All his newspaper clippings, old photographs, gun, etc are really something.
I'll bet. Shame he died at only 60.
Good stuff

Should be a movie!
And you should write it!
