Bloody, MO | Charles Arthur “Pretty Boy” Floyd

Welcome to “Bloody, MO,” a Civil War-through-modern day video peek into Kansas City’s bloody past – starring equally notorious and unknown gunslingers, fire-starters, and godfathers.

Today: Charles Arthur “Pretty Boy” Floyd

The sharp-dressed gunslinger was wanted in six states at the time of his death. But he steadfastly denied taking any part in the most famous crime he was attached to, the “Kansas City Massacre” at Union Station.

Next Monday: Willie “the Rat” Cammisano
