During the darkest days of the Great Depression, bank robber Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd became an unlikely champion of the downtrodden. As unemployment soared to 25%, Floyd allegedly stormed banks across Oklahoma’s Cookson Hills—but instead of just stealing cash, he burned mortgage documents, freeing countless families from crushing debt. While historians debate whether this "Robin Hood" narrative was fact or folklore, his legend spread like wildfire among desperate farmers.

Floyd’s violent end came in 1934, gunned down by FBI agents in an Ohio cornfield—yet his Oklahoma funeral drew 40,000 mourners, the largest in state history. Crowds wept over his coffin, not for the criminal, but for the symbol he represented: a man who fought back when the system failed its people. His legacy endures as a paradox—a violent outlaw immortalised as a Depression-era folk hero.
