On July 21, 1973, Jesse James and his gang pulled off the world’s first robbery of a moving train near, Adair, Iowa – an event chronicled by author and historian Gene Stevens in his book, A Fiendish Crime: A True Story of the First Train Robbery in the West. Gene Stevens will present this program following our Volunteer Appreciation Dinner.
