This life-size bronze statue of two members of the James gang depicts them in typical western attire, counting out their ill-gotten loot and apprehensive about the possibility of being caught by the law. The gang is reputed to have used Meramec Cavern as a hideout in the 1870s. The historical marker accompanying this sculpture reads:
