Our story today involves a member of the infamous Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy’s gang. Known as the wildest of the bunch, Harvey Alexander Logan, better known as Kid Curry, was a force to be reckoned with.
After a successful train robbery put a bounty on their heads, the gang members went their separate ways to wait for things to cool off. Curry chose Knoxville, Tennessee, as a hideout in December, 1901. There he got into a brawl with another man, leading to a violent confrontation with the police and Curry’s desperate escape attempt.
