By 1898, the Van Der Linde Gang had pulled off numerous robberies and heists. Months after their most recent robbery, the gang was lying low in the Grizzlies, waiting on the chance for Dutch to sell the gold they had collected in hopes of living in solitude.
This story takes place a little over year before the Van Der Linde Gang ended in a standoff, and one year before the Blackwater Massacre. It introduces Lenny Summers, Charles Smith, Jenny Kirk, and Micah Bell to the gang, the last four to join before the Blackwater Ferry Heist.
For a while in '98, Dutch's gang lived in peace waiting for an opportunity to buy land for their 'family'. After meeting Lenny, Charles, and Jenny, the gang was hopeful. About five months prior to the Blackwater Incident, Dutch met Micah Bell. After Micah saved Dutch's life, he was initiated into the gang, where they began to fall back to crime.
