If you go to wikopedia, there is a write up on this infamous person. Also if you have a subscription to ancestry.com and do a search of the historical newspapers, I found articles in the Kingston NY newspaper. I was at an Orange NY historical function at the County Park (Hill Hold) a few years ago. Was talking to a lady there who was from Greene county, and she was talking about Legs Diamond. I was interested as my husband's grandfather Charles W. Coager/VanBuren (1866-1943) was born in Prattsville (s/o of William Harrison Coger 1842-1887 and Esther Abigail Frayer (1847-1913). This lady said that one of her ancestors had given haven to Legs Diamond's lady friend overnight. The gangsters were driving up and down the road during the night looking for her. The owner of the house sat up all night with a gun protecting her and the next morning she left. End of story. Carol Van Buren
