These are two of my favorite photos in the museum collection. Its is of Bill Carlisle from 1952, and Bill Carlilsle after he was arrested for the first time by Carbon County Sheriff Rubie Rivera in 1919. Carlisle was imprisoned in the Wyoming State Penitentiary for robbing trains. He was considered the "last train robber". After his release he married. He lived in Kemmerer, WY and later in Laramie,WY and led a respectable life and stayed away from a crime. Here is being interviewed and looking through photos with author Paul Gault, who was writing a book on "Big Nose" George at the time.
