Younger Brothers After the Attempted Northfield Bank Robbery

Everyone knows the story of the attempted bank robbery in Northfield by the James-Younger gang, when the townspeople rose up to defend their bank and thwarted the infamous would-be robbers. The gang fled the scene and split up; however, the Younger Brothers were captured later near Madelia, Minnesota. Government Records Specialist Charlie Rodgers tells the story of what happened to the brothers after their capture.

Good vid, they should make you wear gloves at that facility in order to keep hand oils off the records.

@minameise Thanks. If you are interested in when we do versus when we don't wear gloves, please watch this podcast on that very subject we made last August.

This is a very interesting video.

I know about this part of Minnesota history as I know a great deal about Frank and Jesse James and the Younger Brothers.

Thank you for sharing this.
