DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"Bubba Toothed Bandit" is about John Stanley, a charming and quirky Texas bandit who gave up crime for 14 years then suddenly snapped and went on a six-state bank-robbing spree. In the 1980s, Stanley was a globe-trotting thief who cheated banks and dealt in stolen goods. After his capture in 1985, he took a secret oath to a dead philosopher, promising to leave materialism behind. He became a crime consultant and had a radio show on crime prevention. But in 2003, he went haywire, robbing 34 banks. The FBI nicknamed him the “Bubba Toothed Bandit” for his habit of wearing ugly fake teeth. Now in a Texas prison, he tells his story to journalist Tracey Eaton.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Master storyteller A. C. Greene re-creates one of America's most bizarre holdups -- one that began as a lark. On Christmas Eve 1927, four men set off to rob the First National Bank of Cisco, Texas. Soon the lark turned into a tragedy -- and at times a comedy -- of errors. The robbers did not realize the car they had stolen for their get-away was running on empty. The leader did not anticipate the attention his disguise would draw, even though it was a bright red Santa Claus suit. And they could not have known that all of Cisco would have guns at hand because the Bankers Association had offered a reward of $5000 for any dead bank robber, no questions asked. The Santa Claus bank robbery set off a chain of events that would lead to violence and the death of six men and launch the largest manhunt Texas had ever seen. A. C. Greene's factual account of the unusual crime reads like a novel -- fast paced, full of unexpected turns, and rich with the flavor of life in Texas at the beginning of the end of the Old West. This new edition contains an Afterword with photographs, some of them never before published, and follow-up information on the lives of the participants, including the surviving robber, witnesses and kidnap victims.

His afterlife can be described only as bizarre. Belle Starr's nephew Henry Starr claimed to have robbed twenty-one banks. The Dalton gang failed in their attempt to rob two banks simultaneously, but others accomplished this in Waterville in 1911. Nearly four thousand known vigilantes patrolled the Sunflower State during the 1920s and 1930s to combat the criminal menace. One group even had an airplane with a 50-caliber machine gun. Join author Rod Beemer for a wild ride into Kansas's tumultuous bank heist history. Book jacket.
