In the annals of Canadian history, there are many stories of outlaws and bandits who roamed the land, robbing banks, trains, and stagecoaches. These outlaws were often desperate men and women who were driven to crime by poverty, injustice, or a thirst for adventure. Their stories are filled with violence, intrigue, and adventure, and they have captured the imagination of Canadians for generations.

Some of the most famous Canadian outlaws include Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kid, Sam Bass, Tom Horn, Wyatt Earp, and Doc Holliday. These men were all notorious for their daring robberies and their ability to elude capture. They were also known for their violence, and they often killed their victims in cold blood.

However, there are many other Canadian outlaws who are less well-known, but whose stories are just as fascinating. These forgotten outlaws include:

Bill Miner: Miner was a train robber who operated in the late 19th century. He was known for his daring robberies and his ability to evade capture. He was eventually captured and sentenced to life in prison, but he escaped and continued to rob trains until he was finally killed in a shootout with police.
Pearl Hart: Hart was a stagecoach robber who operated in the late 19th century. She was known for her beauty and her daring robberies. She was eventually captured and sentenced to life in prison, but she was pardoned after serving seven years.
Al Jennings: Jennings was an outlaw who operated in the early 20th century. He was known for his violent robberies and his ability to escape from prison. He was eventually captured and sentenced to life in prison, but he was pardoned after serving 10 years.
Billy Diamond: Diamond was an outlaw who operated in the early 20th century. He was known for his daring robberies and his ability to elude capture. He was eventually captured and sentenced to life in prison, but he escaped and continued to rob banks until he was finally killed in a shootout with police.
