मकई का खेत (en. Cornfield)

General Lane survived the Lawrence Massacre by running and hiding in a cornfield.

So runs the memorable line from the movie Field of Dreams, an idealized ode to America’s national pastime in which an Iowa farmer is inspired to construct a baseball diamond slap bang in the middle of his cornfield.

Whatever the case, on October 22, 1934, the FBI got their man, gunning him down in a cornfield near East Liverpool, Ohio.
