Let us continue our journey down the history of American railroads, this time we discover the Missouri Pacific. We have historic figures listed, some already have profiles, and others are waiting to have their story told. We have fallen police officers, killed so young we owe him a debt of gratitude and our time to honor him. And yes, we have desperadoes and a town fed up with crime, that it drives them to outrageous actions. Delve into the depths of human desperation and brutality. One killed at the scene, and the other, who finds himself at the end of a lynching mob. Something that happened far too often in our past. Hear their last spoken and written words to get a glimpse into the mind of someone who has lost all hope for humanity. It's not always pretty, but it's an American story with the good, the bad, and the ugly.
It is the history of railroads as they chartered new frontiers.
