Alan Lloyd – AncientPages.com – Although Sam Bass lived outside the law, his reputation as a good man with a generous spirit endures. His kindness and compassion won him the admiration of Texas, who saw in him a lovable outlaw with a heart of gold. Much like the legendary Robin Hood, Sam Bass chooses to target only the wealthy, influential countless people with his courage and sense of justice.
Sam played hide-and-seek with law enforcement for years, and his wild train robberies earned him fame and acclaim in Texas and many other states. His treasure, estimated to be around $340 million, is still hidden in Texas. Many treasure hunters have searched for it, but if it exists, it hasn’t been found yet.
