Pretty Boy Floyd. It’s a name you’ve no doubt heard. Perhaps you know him as the depression-era outlaw, whose reputation for bank heists is as legendary now as it ever was. We count him among historic bandits who’ve inspired a rare kind of admiration.
Did you know, however, that this notorious criminal met his demise in Columbiana County? The controversial details surrounding his death remain unresolved today. Perhaps that’s why his troubled spirit is known to roam the field where he was gunned down.
Come hear the story of one man, Mr. Michael Kishbucher, author of Legends & Lore of Little Beaver Creek. Not only is he an avid folklorist, but he’s a native of Columbiana County with unique family ties to this legendary story.
Whatever you once thought of Charles Arthur “Pretty Boy” Floyd, you won’t think the same about him again.
