MAY 9, 2016 BY SALINA STAFF

Two Kansas authors will visit Salina Public Library this week. Rod Beemer will give a presentation on his book “Notorious Kansas Bank Heists: Gunslingers to Gangsters” at 7 p.m. May 12th in the Prescott Room. Darcy Leech will sign copies of her book “From My Mother: Surviving and Thriving in a Family Ravaged by Genetic Disease” from 1 to 3 p.m. May 14th in the Information Services section of the library.

“Notorious Kansas Bank Heists” recalls criminal history in Kansas. The book covers the 1911 robbery of Chautauqua State Bank, including the bizarre story of outlaw Elmer McCurdy’s long-delayed burial. There is also information about Henry Starr, who claimed to have robbed 21 banks; The Dalton gang; and the nearly 4,000 known vigilantes who patrolled the Sunflower State during the 1920s and 1930s to combat the criminal menace.

I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found
any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be
a lot more useful than ever before.

I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and
interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is an issue that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.

Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something relating to this.
