They became notorious for a series of bank and train robberies across the Midwest, targeting both Union and Confederate sympathizers. Their exploits captured public imagination, leading to both admiration and outrage. The gang's activities highlighted the lawlessness of the time and contributed to the mythos of the Wild West.
