One of the most infamous outlaw gangs to rise to fame during this period was Missouri’s Jesse and Frank James. Lesser known today, but just as notorious then was the Reno Gang from Indiana. The gang was comprised of four out of six Reno siblings plus additional gang members. Born on July 27, 1837, Frank Reno was the gang’s oldest member and their leader.
Inciting terror wherever they traveled, the Reno Gang held Seymour hostage. Swaggering an air of untouchability after each arrest, they reappeared in gambling halls and bars, boasting of their influence over the town’s officials. The state paid notice as the gang’s reputation grew.

A still from the 1955 film, Rage At Dawn, starring Randolph Scott, Forrest Tucker, and J. Carrol Naish, was based on the Reno Gang brothers' exploits. RKO
