Chrisy,

I reached out a friend at the Chamber of Commerce for you, who talked to a local museum and here is what they said. Hope it helps.

They can google this event & come up with at least 25 stories about the robbery but the robber’s identity seems to remain unknown. Hardyville is only mentioned as an added stop to the Steamboating trade in 1864. I would refer them to “google”, the Colorado River Historical Society (although the Museum is closed till after Labor Day Volunteers are available on Monday and Tuesday mornings while there working), and the Sharlot Hall Museum. Sharlot Hall has transportation information from 1870 to 1910 including stagecoach & steamboat photos. I would also check with the City of Bullhead City to locate Hardyville archives.
