Black Bart
Charles E. Boles, known as Black Bart, was the bandit who stole money 27 times from the Wells Fargo stagecoaches. He had a family, but after he went to the Civil War he left his family and went West.
He wanted to get rich, so he started taking money from the stagecoaches. On his twenty-eighth attempt, he dropped his handkerchief, and they tracked down which laundry place he went to, and they waited for him to come. When he came, they took him to San Quentin Jail.
When he was a bandit, Black Bart would wait behind a bush with a flour sack on his head with a huge gun in his hands. He waited six years to get out of jail. When he did get released, he disappeared! Also, when he robbed a stagecoach, he wrote bad poems, and signed them Black Bart, the PO8 (Poet).
