Description
The Day the Train Robbers Came explores the events of the 7 June 1904 Parachute, Colorado, train robbery, but with particular emphasis on the people of Grand Valley who went out to fight the train robbers, and the Denver and Rio Grande train crew who had no choice but to face them.
In this English Westerners' Society Special publication, Mike Bell explores the train robbery in detail and analyses the contenders for the train robber who was brought down by the ranchers of Garfield County in the fight on Gibson's Flats on 9 June 1904
