Ed Talk-Rough & Messy Justice: A Book Reading with Keith Regular
March 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Rough & Messy Justice brings to life the Rocky Mountains’ Crowsnest Pass of 1920, a place of rugged geography, a mining economy, and diverse culture. Against this backdrop, an armed robbery of a CPR train leads to a dramatic shootout at the Bellevue Café between police officers and two of the three Russians bandits, recently arrived from the mines of Butte, Montana. The book meticulously details the crime, the shootout, and the thrilling manhunt for the escaped bandit.
