All over Texas, there were similar incidents of bad men being hunted by Rangers. This occurrence, however, ended a series of train robberies and a trail of crimes that reached from Nebraska to Texas. Sam Bass was born near Mitchell, Indiana, on July 21, 1851. His parents died while he was young, and he was brought up by an uncle. He left home at the age of eighteen and spent a year in Rosedale, Mississippi, where he became proficient at playing cards and handling guns. Sam ended up in Denton, Texas, at the end of 1870. There he worked for Sheriff W. F. Eagan as a farmhand and teamster until 1874. He then acquired a little sorrel mare, called the Denton Mare. This was a good racehorse and earned him enough money to stop working for the sheriff in March of the next year. Sam left Denton in 1875 to go racing against the Indian ponies at Fort Sill, Indian Territory. In December, he went to San Antonio and stayed a few months. In August 1876, Sam joined up with Joel Collins to drive a herd of cattle to the northern markets. They steered the animals to Kansas, where they then shipped them to Sidney, Nebraska. From there, they drove the cattle into the Black Hills to the gold town of Deadwood. They invested the money they made from the cattle into horses, wagons, and goods freighted between Deadwood and Dodge City. When the weather made freighting impossible, Sam and Joe invested in a “pleasure resort” offering cards, liquor, and women. While in that business, they also put money into a mine. This made them broke, so in order to recoup their losses, they went into the stagecoach business. This new stagecoach business consisted of robbing seven of them. Sam and Joe were joined by two more men, Jack Davis and a man called Nixon, believed to be a Canadian. Davis came from California and brought news of gold being shipped over the Union Pacific to the east. http://www.texasranger.org/dispatch/19/Sam_Bass/bass.htm (1 of 8) [4/30/2009 11:19:45 PM] TEXAS RANGER DISPATCH Magazine Robbing trains meant that more men were needed, so Bill Heffridge and James Berry were brought into the gang. The group then selected a water station at Big Spring, Nebraska, as their target. On September 19, at 10 o’clock, they robbed the train of 3,000 twenty-dollar gold pieces marked with the date 1877. The sextet split into pairs and scattered to the four winds to make their escape. On September 26, a Sheriff Bardsley and ten U.S. troops killed Joel Collins and Bill Heffridge and recovered $25,000. They also shot and captured James Berry close to his home near Mexico, Missouri. Berry had $2,840 on him. Under questioning, he gave the names of the others involved in the robbery. His partner Nixon went to Chicago, and it was presumed that he continued on to Canada, for he was never found. Sam Bass and Jack Davis headed south, hiding their identities by travelling in a hack they had purchased. They stashed their gold under their small amount of luggage. They even travelled a part of the route south with some troops out looking for them! Jack Davis separated from Bass and seemingly disappeared. Bass returned to Denton with his share of the money and made out that it was from his mining in the Black Hills.[1] Bass now returned to robbing trains, starting with the Texas Central on February 22, 1878. He held up another train in March and two in April, all within fifty days and twenty miles of Dallas. According to the Galveston News of May 5, 1878, the members of the gang were Sam Bass, Seabourne Barnes, Thomas Spotswood, Arkansas Johnson, Henry Underwood, Sam Pipes, Frank Jackson, and Albert Herndon. Bass and Barnes took part in all the robberies, Jackson in three, Johnson in two, and the others in one. On April 12, General Steele sent a telegram to Major John B. Jones ordering him to take steps to apprehend the bandits. Jones arrived in Dallas on April 14. Since there were no Rangers in the area, he was ordered to organize a detachment as part of Company B. To head the group, he elected June Peak, a local man who knew the area well and was city marshal and city recorder at the time. Peak was given the rank of lieutenant in the Frontier Battalion, and he was authorized to raise a force of thirty men. [2] On June 1, he was made a captain of Company B and remained in Ranger service for several years. Once the force had been mustered, the unit set about arresting everyone suspected of taking part in the train robberies or harbouring the robbers. Those arrested were sent to Tyler, 100 miles east of Dallas, and were held there with the cooperation of U.S. Marshal Stillwell H. Russell and Judge Duval of Tyler. In the meantime, Captain Peak and his men had caught up with Sam Bass and his gang at Salt Creek in Wise County. Peak’s men, along with a sheriff’s posse, killed Arkansas Johnson in the ensuing gunfight. They also captured the horses of the others, forcing them to escape on foot. The leeing robbers stole some more horses, enabling them to ride off back to Denton County. [3] After this fight, the Rangers returned to Dallas on May 17 and seemed to give up the chase. Their force was reduced to fifteen men, and they were ordered to stay in the Dallas area. Why would this be? The answer lies in the occurrences at Tyler, where some of the men who had been arrested were to be brought to trial on May 21. One of these was James W. Murphy, who had been arrested for harbouring the robbers. Before he was to come to trial, he asked to meet Major Jones because he had a proposition to make which might interest him. In a sworn statement made after Bass’s http://www.texasranger.org/dispatch/19/Sam_Bass/bass.htm (2 of 8) [4/30/2009 11:19:45 PM] TEXAS RANGER DISPATCH Magazine death, we get an explanation of what he proposed: I hereby certify that on or about the 21st of May 1878, whilst in Tyler . for trial as an accomplice of Sam Bass and other train robbers I proposed to Maj. Jno. B. Jones through Walter Johnson and Capt. June Peak that I thought I could assist in the capture of the Bass party by joining them and putting them in a position where they could be captured. The Major then sent for me to come to his room where I had a long talk with him in the presence of Capt. Peak and Walter Johnson Deputy U.S. Marshall, after which he told me to wait there until he could talk with Judge Evans U.S. District Attorney. He returned in half an hour and said he had made an arrangement by which he could have the case against me dismissed. The agreement was that I should go off secretly the next morning before Court met when it would be announced that I had run away, and forfeiture would be taken on my bond, but the District Attorney would protect my bondsmen. [4] When Bass and his men returned from the Salt Creek fight, Murphy met up with them. For a while, he had a hard time convincing Bass that he was not a spy, as had been rumoured. It seems that gang member Frank Jackson, Murphy’s cousin, interceded for him and prevented him from being shot. Nevertheless, Bass and the gang kept a close eye on Murphy, and he could not get information of their whereabouts to Major Jones from June 11 until July13. On that date, he managed to get a note to William Everhart, the sheriff of Grayson County, to pass on to the Rangers. He let them know that Sam Bass, Seabourne Barnes, Frank Jackson, and he were heading toward Round Rock either to rob a train or a bank.

Hauntology Man, a 48-minute documentary, follows former UNT professor, Dr. Shaun Treat, as he leads a walking ghost tour of downtown Denton, Texas. As the expedition moves from storefront to storefront, each stop elicits a new tale. But, as Dr. Treat points out, the uncertainties of history are the real ghosts. That is, rather than simply presenting a “haunted history” of Denton, it’s more accurate to say this movie’s center resides at the precipice of a “haunting history.” Not all ghost stories need spectres. Sometimes not knowing is ghost enough. Copyright 2018 By Adam Michael Wright ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER 1.

Clay Allison was born in Tennessee. Allison killed at least five men before his violent life ended in a wagon accident on July 1, 1887, in Pecos, Texas. Joseph L. Hood, first sheriff of Bexar County, was killed in a melee with Comanche chiefs within the Town Council House during the course of peace negotiations (prior to April 18). 1841 Renowned black lawman Bass Reeves was born this year or perhaps the previous year in Arkansas, then removed with the Reeves family to Grayson County, Texas. Reeves was apparently the first black deputy U.S. marshal to be appointed west of the Mississippi. Charles W. Jackson, a participant in the Regulator-Moderator War, was killed. A year earlier, a judge sent to try Jackson for killing Joseph G. Goodbread was himself killed near Pulaski, Texas, after fleeing for his life. Thomas D. Yocum, proprietor of the Yocum Inn in the Big Thicket country of East Texas, was executed by a Regulator posse on information that Yocum had murdered several people. 1843 John V. Morton, first sheriff of Fort Bend County, was killed by his former deputy, George W. Pleasants (February 7). 15 TX01e01.qxp 1/25/2008 9:01 AM Page 16 16 200 TEXAS OUTLAWS 1844 Texas Ranger George W.

  • The Highsmith Men, Texas Rangers
    THE HIGHSMITH MEN, TEXAS RANGERS Cody Edwards, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2012 APPROVED: Richard B. McCaslin, Major Professor and Chair of the Department of History Gustav Seligmann, Committee Member F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Edwards, Cody. The Highsmith Men, Texas Rangers. Master of Arts (History), December 2012, 140 pages, bibliography, 84 titles. The Highsmith Men is a general historical narrative of four prominent men who happened to be Texas Rangers. The story begins in Texas in 1830 and traces the lives of Samuel Highsmith, his nephew, Benjamin Franklin Highsmith, and Samuels’s sons, Malcijah and Henry Albert Highsmith, who was the last of the four to pass away, in 1930. During this century the four Highsmiths participated in nearly every landmark event significant to the history of Texas. The Highsmith men also participated in numerous other engagements as well. Within this framework the intent of The Highsmith Men is to scrutinize the contemporary scholarly conceptions of the early Texas Rangers as an institution by following the lives of these four men, who can largely be considered common folk settlers. This thesis takes a bottom up approach to the history of Texas, which already maintains innumerable accounts of the sometimes true and, sometimes not, larger than life figures that Texas boasts. For students pursuing studies in the Texas, the American West, the Mexican American War, or Civil War history, this regional history may be of some use. The early Texas Rangers were generally referred to as “Minute Men” or “Volunteer Militia” until 1874.

Outlaw legends have ap­ peared in a variety of incarnations throughout American history and it would be impossible to ascribe a particular paradigm to its development. Examples of this tradition can be found in most regions of America. Vennont had Ethan Allen's Green Mountain boys, New Mexico had Billy the Kid, and California the mystical Joaquin Murrieta and highwayman Jack Powers, By comparison, the Texas outlaw tradition is not only rich but is more complex. Southern, Spanish, and Southwestern influences and traditions have found their way into the various explanations for its persistence into the twen­ tieth century.
