I am currently starting research for a planned book on Oliver Curtis Perry, the train robber. I am particularly interested in his years in Auburn Prison, Matteawan and Dannemora. As I am based in Liverpool I am finding it difficult to find many sources of information, having exhausted available bibliographical resources and the treasures of the web. I hope to visit Albany in the Spring when I am on sabbatical but would really welcome some suggestions of possible material on Perry. My sense is that he is a relatively neglected figure. If I can offer any help to closet historians of Liverpool I will! Thanks.
