The Ballad of Ben and Stella Mae

On August 25, 1938, Ben Dickson and his wife Stella Mae robbed the Corn Exchange Bank in Elkton, South Dakota. Two months later they hit a bank in nearby Brookings. Retrieving the Dicksons from the fog of history and the hype of the FBI's "Most Wanted" narrative, this volume tells the story of a damaged small-town girl and her petty criminal husband and their low-key crime spree.
