Description

Get ready to venture into the gritty underbelly of post-Civil War Kansas with us, as we expose the chilling tales of the state's most notorious outlaws. We're dusting off an article from the Kansas Magazine, a deep-dive into the state's darkest past, co-authored by our very own producer Mike King. Guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat, we lay bare the unfiltered realities of the March Madness-style showdown where each criminal's deeds are weighed, debated, and ranked to identify the worst of the worst.Stirring up the shadows, we go one-on-one with the chilling narratives of Jim Curry and Henry Brown, two names that struck fear into the heart of Kansas. Discover the lawless journey of Curry, a man whose life of crime even saw him cross paths with Maurice Barrymore, patriarch of the famed Barrymore family. Then, prepare for the gut-wrenching tale of Henry Brown whose shocking betrayal of his badge made him one of Kansas's most despised figures. From their involvement in the Civil War to their own personal demons, we strip back the legends to reveal the men behind these infamous outlaws.

Welcome to Wild West podcast where fact and legend merge. The Wild West Podcast presents the true accounts of individuals, who settled in a town built out of hunger for money, regulated by fast guns, who walked on both sides of the law, patrolling, investing in and regulating the brothels, saloons and gambling houses. These are stories of the men who made the history of the Old West come alive - bringing with them the birth of legends, brought to order by a six-gun and laid to rest with their boots on. Join us now as we take you back in history, to the legends of the Wild West.
