FAQ
Who sang the the song A Pretty Wreath For Mother's Grave?
- The song A Pretty Wreath For Mother's Grave was sang by The Reno Brothers.
Who is The Reno Brothers?
- The Reno Gang, also known as the Reno Brothers Gang and The Jackson Thieves, were a group of criminals that operated in the Midwestern United States during and just after the American Civil War. Though short-lived, they carried out the first three peacetime train robberies in U.S. history. Most of the stolen money was never recovered.
The gang was broken up by the lynchings of ten of its members by vigilante mobs in 1868. The murders created an international diplomatic incident with Canada and Great Britain, a general public uproar, and international newspaper coverage. No one was ever identified or prosecuted for the lynchings.
The Reno Brothers have been portrayed in two movies, including Elvis Presley's first movie Love Me Tender 1956, where he starred as brother Clint.
