Re: Brown County historians on Bloody Bill.

Just a thought on all those who "claimed" to be infamous outlaws...

It was mentioned that many of these did this during the 1930's or close to this time. As all of us should know, this was during the Great Depression. I've always wondered if these people did this for the 15 minutes of fame, and whatever they could generate financially.

It makes sense to me, since this was a time people needed money and food in the worst way.
