Charles Boles: The Shotgun-Wielding Gentleman Outlaw
About this episode
The Wild West after the Civil War was famous for its unruly hooligans. But buried in the headlines under the rowdy shenanigans of Billy The Kid and Jesse James stood the story of a very different outlaw. One many had described as "Gentlemanly." Sure with each of his highway robberies, he'd hold a shotgun to your face, but he never wanted your personal belongings...only the money of certain banks that have wronged him. Even more, he'd end each heist with a please, thank you and even a charming poem. Sure the world may have forgotten about Black Bart aka Charles Boles, but we sure haven't.
