just wondering if anyone has ever heard of it. my history teacher in high school told us about it and i thought it was pretty interesting to know that one of the biggest massacres in the US happened here in the ozarks.
here is the link my teacher made that tells the story about it.

RE: Young Brothers Massacre
Yup. I've seen the old newspaper articles
RE: Young Brothers Massacre
I don't have time to read the link, but if you're talking about the Brookline Massacre, there are some solid books out on it and they're filming/have filmed a movie on the incident.
RE: Young Brothers Massacre
There are some terrific books on the subject, as ivecomeasiam mentioned. My favorite is found HERE. The house still stands, off Haseltine Road, but the Grove of trees behind which the lawmen took cover are gone. The seven lawmen are listed on a memorial outside the police station.
RE: Young Brothers Massacre
Very cool site, thanks for posting it. I'd seen the memorial but never read a detailed history of what happen.
RE: Young Brothers Massacre
that was a pretty cool read. i have some family around the joplin and springfield area and heard a lot of stories about bonnie and clyde but never of the youngs. thanks
RE: Young Brothers Massacre
One of my personal favorites is the Barker Gang. They didn't do much more than petty theft and cause some trouble around here, they lived in Ozark for a while, but when they left town when the boys got older...that's when the fun stuff happened.
You should check out the story of Ma Barker and her sons, it's pretty cool.
