Thief

C.O Davies led bounty hunters on a cross-country chase after being accused of bank robberies, fraud, and murder. But was he guilty? Author J.D. Hylton pieces together accounts from newspapers, oral histories, and court records to assemble a fictional account of the life and times of one of Iowa's most infamous con-men. This photograph of Davies, the only one in existence, appeared on the front page of the Winterset Review while Davies was on trial.
