The Last Stagecoach Heist - In the late 1800’s, the American old west provided a backdrop for a host of legendary colorful characters including gallant lawmen and infamous outlaws. Mr. Charles Earl Bowens, better known as Black Bart, was one such notorious outlaw who operated in northern California and southern Oregon. Beginning in July of 1875 through his final robbery in November of 1883, Black made daring thefts of stage coaches (mostly operated by Wells-Fargo). Through he received fame for these bold robberies, Bart was also known for holding up coaches with an unloaded shotgun, never harming a passenger, and leaving behind poetic messages after his heists. Detectives eventually tracked Bart down only nine days after his final heist, and after his trial it was determined that he committed 28 robberies during an eight year criminal career. After serving four years in jail for his crimes and receiving a pardon, it was reported that Bart moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
