The Bandit Bard Joseph Hare a Highwayman of Note
A historic portrait of Joseph Hare born 1780 in Chester County Pennsylvania, famed as America’s early highwayman. The tale recalls his daring acts from robbing a farmer of 500 dollars to boxing fights with Bill Marshall in New Orleans, his preference for fists over firearms, and his poetic remorse after each crime. He led bands or solo, used scouts, and planned like a general, yet remained haunted by guilt. Hare sought reform many times but failed, ending with execution in September 1818.
