Alias Smith & Jones Into the west came many men: some were good men and some were bad men. Some were good men with some bad in them and some were bad men with some good in them. Alias Smith & Jones is the story of two pretty good bad men. Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry: Together these gentlemen substantially altered the course of America's frontier. They did a lot to change railroad schedules, too. And in all the trains and banks they robbed, they never shot anyone. This made our two latter-day Robin Hoods very popular — with everyone but the railroads and banks. Because unlike Robin Hood, Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry robbed from the rich and kept the money for themselves. It was a good life. But times were changing. Safes were getting better. Posses were getting bigger. Sheriffs were getting smarter. And modern communications made it only a matter of time till they would be captured, and maybe even killed.
After the Devil's Hole Gang, led by Hannibal Heyes, stopped a train to rob, Heyes yelled out to the conductor, "Stand and dee-liver!" "Who says so?" the conductor wanted to know. "Kid Curry!" Heyes said, motioning with his gun toward his partner seated on horseback beside him. And The Kid added, "Hannibal Heyes!" And so it is Hannibal Heyes to whom this web site is devoted. Here you'll find everything you ever wanted to know about him — and more. Of course, his life wasn't complete without Kid Curry, so there's a lot of him in here, too. Enjoy!
