In 1923 the DeAutremont brothers robbed a Southern Pacific train on Siskiyou Summit in Tunnel 13, dynamited the mailcar to hell and gone, the clerk was blown to bits, and they shot three traincrew, mostly out of frustration of not being able to find the money in the smoke and steam in the tunnel. They were caught four years later.
There was a documentary movie, "The crime of the the DeAutremont Bros", but nobody I know has ever seen it, if it even exists.
Black Bart (28 stagecoach robberies to his credit) did most of his robberies in this county. Bart left a few poems with his victims...
I've labored long and hard for bread, for honor, and for riches
But on my corns, for too long you've tread
You fine haired sons of bitches.
