Violent bank heists, bold train robberies and hardened gangs all tear across the history of the wild west--western Pennsylvania, that is. The region played reluctant host to the likes of the infamous Biddle Boys, who escaped Allegheny County Jail by romancing the warden''s wife, and the Cooley Gang, which held Fayette County in its violent grip at the close of the nineteenth century.
