The Great Northfield, Minnesota Raid
Next to the “Gunfight at the OK Corral” in Tombstone, Arizona,
the James-Younger gang’s raid on
Northfield,
Minnesota is, perhaps, the best
known event in the history of the wild west.
In
the years after the war between the states, Jesse James and the
James-Younger gang rose to prominence mostly in the mid-western
areas that had previously been sympathetic to the Confederacy.
Northfield,
however, proved to be their undoing. Neither sympathetic nor
passive, the people of
Northfield
would put an end to the criminal reign of the James-Younger gang.
The Arizona Gunfighters recreate
this event as closely as possible to the way it actually happened
utilizing almost their entire cast.
Due to certain space and building requirements, this show
cannot be performed at all venues.
