  • Butch Cassidy Roamed Incognito in Southwest New Mexico
    Nancy Coggeshall I For The New Mexican Hideout in the Gila Butch Cassidy roamed incognito in southwest New Mexico. Hideout in the Gila utch Cassidy’s presence in southwestern New Mexico is barely noted today. Notorious for his successful bank Butch Cassidy roamed and train robberies at the turn of the 20th century, incognito in southwest Cassidy was idealized and idolized as a “gentleman out- New Mexico wilderness Blaw” and leader of the Wild Bunch. He and various members of the • gang worked incognito at the WS Ranch — set between Arizona’s Blue Range and San Carlos Apache Reservation to the west and the Nancy Coggeshall rugged Mogollon Mountains to the east — from February 1899 For The New Mexican until May 1900. Descendants of pioneers and ranchers acquainted with Cassidy tell stories about the man their ancestors knew as “Jim Lowe.” Nancy Thomas grew up hearing from her grandfather Clarence Tipton and others that Cassidy was a “man of his word.” Tipton was the foreman at the WS immediately before Cassidy’s arrival. The ranch sits at the southern end of the Outlaw Trail, a string of accommodating ranches and Wild Bunch hideouts stretching from Montana and the Canadian border into Mexico. The country surrounding the WS Ranch is forbidding; volcanic terrain cleft with precipitously angled, crenelated canyon walls defies access. A “pretty hard layout,” local old-timer Robert Bell told Lou Blachly, whose collection of interviews with pioneers — conducted PROMIENT PLACES - between 1942 and 1953 — are housed at the University of New OUTLAW TRAIL Mexico. What better place to dodge the law? 1.

  • The Wit & Wisdom of Doc Holliday
    ® Cowboy Action Shooting Stages & Scenarios 26 August 2012 The Wit & Wisdom Of Doc Holliday The Ten CAS Commandments 1. Thou shalt not allow thy muzzle to point at any person! Thou shalt keep thy muzzle pointed downrange when drawing or holstering from a Cross-Draw holster. Thou shalt not sweep thy neighbor, nor thy neighbor's wife, nor thy neighbor's ass (nor any other portion of his anatomy!) Safety! First, Last, and Always. 2. Thou shalt abide by all SASS Safety Rules, and thou shalt have FUN! 3. Protect thine eyes and ears at all times. Spectators shall do the same. 4. Except when shooting, loading, or unloading, thou shalt keep thy pistols holstered. 5. Thou shalt not close the action of thy rifle until thou loadest it at the Load Station. Thou shalt open thy rifle's action immediately after completing the rifle portion of the stage. Thou shalt not close thy shotgun except while holding it in thy hands at the firing line. 6. Suffer not thy gun to fall upon the ground, for a dropped gun is “Dead”. A loaded dropped gun is dead, and shall not rise again this day. Only the Range Officer may retrieve or pick up a dropped gun. NOTE: An empty long gun carefully staged against a barricade, wall, or other prop that subsequently slips and falls shall not result in any penalty. 7. There is no Rule #7. 8. Suffer not thine ammunition to fall upon the ground. Dropped ammo is "Dead", and may only be retrieved by the brass pickers, after the shooter has completed the stage.

  • Gunplay Maxwell
    Gunplay Maxwell James Otis Bliss, AKA “Clarence L. Maxwell”, “Gunplay Maxwell” (1860 to August 23, 1909) was a late 19th-century Old West gunfighter and businessman from Boston, Massachusetts. Born the son of a hotel manager (Alfonso Bliss), he received a good education, but in 1875 he was involved in a bar room brawl that resulted in him shooting and killing a friend of his. Maxwell fled to Texas, and later Montana, to avoid being arrested for the murder. While in Montana and working as a cowboy, he began selling his gunman skills during the cattle-sheep wars. He later became involved in a cattle rustling in Wyoming and Utah, resulting in his being arrested and sentenced to 3 years in the Wyoming State Prison in 1893. While in prison, he became associated with Butch Cassidy, and the two were released within a week of one another. It was later said that he attempted to join Cassidy’s gang “The Wild Bunch”, but was rejected. In 1898 he and another man robbed the Springville, Utah bank, taking $3,000. More than 200 posse members pursued them, killing Maxwell’s partner, and capturing Maxwell after a brief shootout. He was taken to the Provo, Utah jail, but never revealed the identity of his partner, but that he was dead. Maxwell was convicted of robbery and was sent to the Utah State Prison. Five years later, after he helped stop a prison escape, his sentence was commuted. He worked as a mine guard and discovered the ozokerite near Colton, Utah and filed a claim, then started the mining company “Utah Ozokerite Company”.

When my research began in 2008, Blizzard reached a record 10 million players. Each of these players entered the world as a character they created by choosing one of two political factions, two genders, ten races and nine classes (Blizzard Entertainment, "New Milestone"). They could also customize their skin color, hair color, hair style and facial features. Any number of these characters can still be found daily exploring the various frontiers where the game is set. During their explorations, players complete quests, discover new lands and fight enemies in various landscapes, such as the snow-covered mountains of Dun Morogh, the Swamp of Sorrows, the rainforests of Stranglethorn Vale and the grassy plains of the Barrens, in order to gain honor, experience and gold. World of Warcraft players start out from one of the world’s major cities, where they can train, buy or sell on the auction house and place items or gold in the bank.

  • Doc Holliday by Robert Hilliard
    Doc Holliday By Robert Hilliard Be honest with yourself. When you think about the outlaws and gunfighters of the old west, which one comes to mind first? Well, for me, it has always been Doc Holliday. Here is a man that came into this world with the best intentions, but ended up contracting a disease that not only hit him early in his life, but shaped the type of person he would be until his dying day. John Henry “Doc” Holliday was born on August 14, 1851 in Griffin, Georgia, to Henry Burroughs Holliday and Alice Jane Holliday. He grew up a Southern gentleman and at the age of 21 obtained his Dental degree and moved to St. Louis, Missouri to work with a classmate and setup his practice. Shortly after, Doc was diagnosed with tuberculosis and carried the disease throughout the remainder of his life. Holliday moved around frequently setting up practices in Atlanta, Dallas and points in between. Everywhere he went, his disease would eventually end his practice. Finally, while trying to practice as a dentist in Dallas, Texas, Doc found he had another skill that would aid him in making a living. He became skilled as a gambler. Over the years, Doc found himself engaged in fights and gunfights that would land him in jail for a short period of time. However, Doc managed to gain a reputation, not only as a skilled gambler and gunfighter, but as a person who lived as if today where his last day on earth. Knowing that tuberculosis would eventually do him in, Doc Holliday lived the rest of his days as if he had no fear.

    THE COLLECTED WORKS OF BILLY THE KID PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Michael Ondaatje | 105 pages | 19 Mar 1996 | Random House USA Inc | 9780679767862 | English | New York, United States The Collected Works of Billy the Kid (Vintage International) | Remember the first time you heard: Billy, you're so far away from home. Never kicked it. Then he started to write -- he had to write. He wrote a collage: of poems and poem fragments, prose, documentary testimonies. It's uneven, a broken western sky. But we're at the point where only impressionists can write Billy, who here says, Blood a necklace on me all my life. This is a book where a dying man's last words are, indelibly, get away from me yer stupid chicken. They went to kill it, to put it out of its misery; but it jumped and fled. Ran under the house. Couldn't get it out, but imagined the pain. Billy said he'd kill him. You should read this to find out how. If you want to know. And yet, Even though dead they buried him in leg irons. It's easy to be misunderstood. View all 8 comments. Aug 01, Khashayar Mohammadi rated it really liked it Shelves: poetry , idiosyncratic , canadian. One of the most original books of Poetry I have ever read. Ingenious, Bold and Lachrymose. May 19, April Kennedy rated it really liked it. I read this book years ago, and it is definitely one I won't forget. I love the legend of Billy the Kid, so to see it told through prose and candor and photographs was really interesting.
