The Reid and Davis Gangs of Montana <BR> (Part 1)
It was already 20 years into the new century. But in the small towns of Montana, North Dakota, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, some small time hoods didn't realize that the Wild, Wild West was over. These two gangs accounted for at least two dozen bank robberies. It took two years before the law could catch up with them all.

The Reid and Davis Gangs of Montana <BR> (Part 2)
Though I described the outlaws as being "of Montana" they obviously committed many crimes elsewhere too. Their headquarters was in North Dakota, so they made it a point never to rob anything there. They must have rivaled the James gang in the sheer number of jobs and the large amount of profit. They were probably one of the few "wild west" outfits that had benefit of automobiles to make their getaways.
