The Reno Gang & the 1st Big Train Robbery

During the years after the Civil War, much of the nation suffered unemployment and lawlessness, spawning several notorious desperadoes and outlaw gangs. It was during this time that the Reno Gang from Indiana began to terrorize the Midwest. 

One of the first outlaw brotherhoods in the United States, the Reno Gang was primarily made up of four brothers — Frank, John, Simeon, and William Reno, who all came from the small rural community of Rockford two miles north of Seymour, Indiana.
