82: The First Train Robbery in the West & the 1870 Zodiac Back
from You Ain't a'Woofin · host Amy Jo McCarville and Valerie Alonzo
On today’s episode, Valerie tells the quintessential 1800s story of seven bandits who attempted the first train robbery in the West. The heist went like clockwork aboard the Central Pacific Overland Express Train, Engine No. 1, but things fell apart quickly afterward thanks to a lone crack investigator and the less than stellar fortitude of a few of the would-be criminals. Next, in the Zodiac Back, Amy Jo covers the present day astrology, as well as Pluto in Taurus, Neptune in Aries, and Uranus in Cancer, during the Gilded Age, and then, balloons are back, with a man who was way into eclipses, photography, and escaping the Siege of Paris.
