Indispensable- The brainchild of Atlanta art collector Stephen M. Sessler, who edited the volume, American Art: Collecting and Connoisseurship was unusual and perhaps unique among fine art books in that it was both beautiful and useful.

Sessler, who edited the volume, American Art: Collecting and Connoisseurship was unusual and perhaps unique among fine art books in that it was both beautiful and useful.

Where Did the Loot Go? - This is one of those find the money stories. And it's one that has attracted treasure hunters for more than 150 years.

Whatever happened to the $97,000 from the Reno Gang's last heist? Up to a dozen members of the Reno Gang stopped a Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapolis train at a watering station in southern Indiana.
