Join the escapades of a group of 1920's border bank robbers as author Frank Anderson details the heists of two large bank robbing gangs, one a breakaway gang from the original group. The Border Bank Bandits covers the careers of Smiling Johnny Reid, Arthur Davis, and their various henchmen; their successful and their aborted heists; their eventual capture by the fledgling provincial police forces and south of the border sheriffs; and their subsequent court hearings and final sentences.

The antics of the courteous bank robber, the technique of using bread dough to blow a safe, and the final hunt for the buried treasure make this a humorous, as well as an exciting read.
