The first confirmed bank robbery by the James-Younger gang occurred on this day in 1869. The gang robbed the Daviess County Savings Bank in Gallatin, Missouri, making off with $700. The now-legendary Jesse James was a member of the gang that robbed banks throughout the Midwest. Five earlier robberies in Kentucky and Missouri are now attributed to that gang, but the Daviess County Savings Bank marked the first confirmed robbery.
