Train Heist Robber

Martha,

I know this life has been hard on you but I promise you I am done after this last job. McCoy has become more ruthless and bloodthirsty with each passing robbery and I can no longer abide by it. I can’t rightly look into the eyes of our unborn child and teach him right from wrong if I continue on this road I set. Pack all of our belongings and meet me at the train station in Amarillo, there will make our escape and make our future.

Love,

John

This middle part of the map is made up of different terrain features like rivers and canyons along with saloons and ranches that can provide provisions for the players. These formations and buildings are arranged by the designers into a map and one is randomly selected at the beginning of the game. Players, all should be mounted at this point in the game, ride through this section of the map, trying to avoid and deceive opposing teams along the way. There are also roving bounty hunters on the lookout for the McCoy gang roving the landscape here. The Outlaws should avoid the bounty hunters as if they get within a certain range of their view, the lawmen will be alerted to the presence of the outlaws on their map. Luckily for the Outlaws, the Outlaws are of the yellow-bellied kind and won’t actually fire on them. They only hope to get the reward for the information they provide. This pacifistic nature does not mean these men are choir boys, though, they have an unscrupulous streak. John can bribe them with money to falsely (or not if they are indeed in the location specified) tell the law where the outlaws are on the map. Wise John players will constantly be seeking ways to tie up the two other teams to ease his

    In late 19th century America, countless industrialists were accused of using unscrupulous or dishonest methods of hoarding wealth and building monopolies. Examples of these accused captains of industry include John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and J.P. Morgan, nicknamed "Robber Barons." While many consumers and competitors were quick to attack these powerful businessmen, their primary interest was merely to build on the success of their companies, and reach their full potential. I believe they were, in a word, misunderstood. These tycoons and their controversial techniques of accumulating wealth received their share of criticism from begrudged competitors and consumers alike, but these techniques were not necessarily as terrible as they…

    Fall 2015 History is often only taught but never questioned because of the impossibility to change what has already happened. However, Richard White, the author of “Railroaded” does exactly that, questions transcontinental life in the Gilded Age. White is a well-respected historian and professor from Stanford University who, during the 2007-2008 recession, was inspired to write about the strangely-familiar recessions of our nations past. This book provides great insight regarding the idea of railroads and whether or not such an invention was a good and needed advancement at the time. This paper will analytically criticize, praise and discuss Whites argument, effectiveness and credibility of the railroad industry.…

    Over the centuries, there have been countless conflicts to carry through time, such as war and battles. One conflict still carries through to today: should the Industrial leaders of the late 19th century be characterized more as “captains of industry” or “robber barons?” Two prominent figures to be noted are Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller. Neither was born into wealth, but rather, they earned it themselves through their success in the oil and steel businesses. But the question here is did they earn it?…

    Why would a “charming, highborn gentleman” like Edward Pierce want to commit a crime so “startling and titillating” as the Great Train Robbery? (Crichton 7). When Pierce was asked at his trial about his motive for “planning and executing this dastardly and shocking crime,” he simply answered that he “wanted the money” (Crichton 357). Pierce’s true motivation was caused by a simple desire; instead, it was caused by his character flaws of greed and egotism. Michael Crichton captured Edward Pierce’s avarice in The Great Train Robbery by focusing on his overly self-confident, manipulative, and sly nature.…

The biggest anti-slavery freedom motion in North America was the Underground Railroad. At the beginning, you would often only see single men travelling through the Underground Railroad.

These routes went through 14 Northern states and two Canadian provinces, and some led to Mexico or overseas. Canada was a desired destination because Canada's long border allowed many points of access. The railroad was a success due to the help of abolitionists, and other allies/supporters.…

The non-professional actors give fine performances and lend the film a documentary-like air, even though the narrative itself is fictional.…
