George Parrot - aka Big Nose George - was a basic run-of-the-mill road agent. Trains, stagecoaches, general stores - they were all fair game for Big Nose and the boys. Sometimes he was successful and sometimes he wasn’t, but he was always down to try. Unfortunately for George the long arm of the law eventually caught up with the man; permanently and prematurely ending his outlaw career. And that’s only HALF the story! How many times did George have a noose placed around his neck before it finally stuck? What happens when a couple of Old West sawbones get their hands on a criminal cadaver? And what’s all this have to do with nipple shoes? Find out on this Farrah Fawcett-inspired episode of The Wild West Extravaganza! #wildwest #history #outlaw
