The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid is a famous historical event that occurred on September 7, 1876. It was a failed bank robbery attempt by the James-Younger Gang, which consisted of Jesse James, Frank James, Cole Younger, and his brothers.
The gang had previously conducted successful bank robberies in Missouri, Kansas, and Kentucky, but they planned to rob the First National Bank of Northfield, Minnesota. However, the citizens of Northfield were prepared for their arrival and fought back.
The robbery quickly turned into a shootout, and several members of the gang were killed, wounded, or captured. Only a few members managed to escape, and the James brothers had to flee on their own.
The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid marked the turning point for the James-Younger Gang, as it significantly weakened their operations and led to the eventual capture or death of most of its members. Today, the event is remembered as a significant moment in the history of the American West and is still celebrated annually in Northfield, Minnesota.
