The Younger Brothers – Crime Classics Outlaw Story

Play episode

🙊 The Younger Brothers of Jackson County — Missouri. The four sons of a farmer, would grow up to become Civil War guerrillas and outlaws in the history books – joining up up with Frank and Jesse James to form the James-Younger Gang.

🦹‍♂️ The four brothers — Thomas Coleman, James Hardin, John Harrison, and Robert Ewing, were from a large family of 14 children born to Henry Washington and Busheba Fristoe Younger. The tale is one of murder, heists, and this, is their story told to you through Crime Classics. 🙊

📻I’ve remastered this episode thoroughly today and I hope you really enjoy it – the original audio was already clear-ish, and when I applied my magic….well…it really shined on through. I hope you love it mates. Before I start a big shout out to Douglas Boor, you know who are mate, thank you for recent emails. Now mates, get ready for an OTR worth listening – pay close attention to the end of this episode regarding how many bullets the Young Brothers withstood…yikes.
