Henry Starr: Prolific Bank Robber's Saga

Henry Starr was a notorious bank robber who, in 1893, shot a deputy, resulting in a death sentence. He later appealed the sentence and was incarcerated for 15 years. During his time in prison, he became a hero by disarming another dangerous outlaw, Crawford Goldsby, earning a pardon from Teddy Roosevelt.

Upon his release, Starr resumed his bank-robbing career, eventually targeting at least 21 banks without causing harm to anyone. He published an autobiography and starred in a 1919 movie about his exploits. However, in 1921, during what would be his final heist at the People's State Bank in Arkansas, the bank manager shot and fatally wounded him, ending his criminal career.
