"The Northfield Tragedy; or, the Robber's Raid" by J. H. Hanson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative recounts the intricate details leading up to the attempted robbery of the First National Bank in Northfield, Minnesota, by a notorious gang, as well as the ensuing chaos and bravery displayed by the town's citizens.
