  • The Doan Gang of Plumstead, Pennsylvania, may very well be the first documented outlaw gang in the United States. They stole horses and sold them to the British, they robbed tax collectors and even the U.S. Treasury in Newtown, Bucks County. This is their story. #doangang #truecrimewiththesarge #outlaws #plumstead #buckscountypa

When my nephew Alex, (West Point 2004) was growing up in Brooklyn, we used to tell him Jimmy Hoffa was buried under his bed.
