What it did mean, though, was that the bandits had no trouble recruiting for the gang. These men were mostly farmers who worked very hard in the sprin...g and fall, but were pretty much at loose-ends during the peak of summer. Therefore, they became bandits out of boredom as much as anything else.Sure, a big robbery would net them enough to live in what they considered to be luxury, but that was not the main purpose for turning to banditry.
