  • The Story of the Outlaw
    The Story of the Outlaw By Emerson Hough The Story of the Outlaw Chapter I The Desperado—Analysis of His Make-up—How the Desperado Got to Be Bad and Why—Some Men Naturally Skillful with Weapons—Typical Desperadoes. Energy and action may be of two sorts, good or bad; this being as well as we can phrase it in human affairs. The live wires that net our streets are more dangerous than all the bad men the country ever knew, but we call electricity on the whole good in its action. We lay it under law, but sometimes it breaks out and has its own way. These outbreaks will occur until the end of time, in live wires and vital men. Each land in the world produces its own men individually bad—and, in time, other bad men who kill them for the general good. There are bad Chinamen, bad Filipinos, bad Mexicans, and Indians, and negroes, and bad white men. The white bad man is the worst bad man of the world, and the prize-taking bad man of the lot is the Western white bad man. Turn the white man loose in a land free of restraint—such as was always that Golden Fleece land, vague, shifting and transitory, known as the American West—and he simply reverts to the ways of Teutonic and Gothic forests. The civilized empire of the West has grown in spite of this, because of that other strange germ, the love of law, anciently implanted in the soul of the Anglo- Saxon.

Morris In October of 1892, the Dalton Gang rode into Coffeyville, Kansas intent on making criminal history by holding up two bann simultaneously. In 1931, Emmett Dalton, collaborating with journalist Jack lungmeyer, told the story of the gang and of that raid in his txx>k, ",'hen the lJaltom Rode. And in 1979, Ron Hansen, collaborating in a way with Emmell Dalton, retold that same story in his novel, Desperadoes. One of the many interesting things surrounding the Daltons' raid on Coffeyville and the several stories that have arisen from it, is the way in which Bob Dalton at age 21 Hansen deliberately chose to shape that narrative. Hansen works in Desperadoes as he would later work in his second novel, TIu! AsSlllrination ofJesse James by rhe CO'rllQrd Robert Ford (1983), in the ambiguous realm between historical fiction and fictional history. In such a realm, distinctions necessarily often blur. Even before Hansen's novel begins, the author describes part of his narrative technique: "Most of this novel is based on verifiable fact. The characters in it represent my interpretation of people who actually lived not long ago. But lhough care has been taken not to contradict historical testimony, I have not hesitated to distort or invent situations and descriptions whenever it seemed fictionally right to do so."t Hansen is, indeed, dutiful to "verifiable fact." As a proper historian might, for example, he includes maps-one of Oklahoma Territory, and another of Coffeyville itself with its building'S numbered and identified, and with its streets and a11er-; littered with the silhouettes of dead citizens and gangmembers.

G. Moses ii Name: Clinton Girkin Date of Degree: DECEMBER 2015 Title of Study: “BAD MEN AND GOOD BAD MEN: THE CHEROKEE STRIP OUTLAWS,” AN EXHIBIT FOR THE CHEROKEE STRIP REGIONAL HERITAGE CENTER Major Field: History Abstract: This project proposes a museum exhibit that will explore the nature of outlawry and the public’s response to it. The introductory chapter will explain the public’s perception of outlaws. Richard Aquila argues that the public believes that outlaws represent both honorable and dishonorable aspects of the West. This thesis will argue that the nineteenth-century’s perception of outlawry affected the twentieth and twenty-first century’s perceptions. The stereotypes related to outlawry are not new. The thesis will specifically assert that actual outlaws were more complex than the “noble criminal” or “bad men” stereotypes. Many outlaws were “noble criminals” and “bad men” at the same time. The Cherokee Strip’s outlaws provide an excellent case study for the complex nature of outlawry. Outlaws who operated outside the Cherokee Strip were similar to the Cherokee Strip outlaws in many ways.

DESCRIPTORS Heritage Education; *Historic Sites; Middle Schools; Primary Sources; Secondary Education; Social Studies; Student Educational Objectives; *United States History IDENTIFIERS National History Standards; National Register of Historic Places ABSTRACT By 1890 the legendary outlaws of the 1870s and 1880s were mostly dead or in prison. When Luther Perkins erected his new bank building in Coffeyville, Kansas, a bank robbery was the farthest thing from his mind. But the Dalton cousins, former Coffeyville residents, were interested in the bank because they wanted to outdo the James gang by using the town as a setting for a spectacular double bank robbery. The robbery ended, however, with four of the five outlaws dead. Coffeyville became famous in the nation as the town that stopped the Daltons. This lesson is based on a National Register of Historic Places file, on studies of outlaws of the U.S. West, and on a contemporary description of the robbery. The lesson can be used in U.S. history, social studies, and geography courses and in units on the post-Civil War era, the settlement and culture of the West, or Kansas history.

  • The Dalton Gang
    , The Dalton Gang by Amanda Granneman 8th Grade Amanda Granneman Scope 5-7-99 The Dalton Gang ''He was one of the most accurate shots I ever saw ... shot his rifle mostly from his side or hip, very seldom bringing the gun to his shoulder." .Heck Thomas talking about Bob Dalton's shooting ability. (Fredrick Heck Thomas). The Dalton Gang was made up of Gratton Hanley Dalton, Robert Rennick Dalton, and Emmett Dalton, three out of eight brothers. Two of the eight remaining five brothers were Bill and Frank Dalton, who were not in the gang but rather a deputy marshal, and a state politician. While growing up the boys heard stories about their famous half-cousins, Bob, Jim and Cole Younger, who were in the James Gang when the Daltons kids. They also had another cousin John Younger, who was not in the James Gang. (Fredrick The Dalton Gang). The future gang members came mostly from the mid west or the south and drifted to the territories. The gang members were Grat, Bob and Emmett Dalton, Bill Doolin, William St. Power, Dick Broadwell, Charlie Pierce, George Newcomb and Charlie Bryant. Grat Dalton moved to California but came back to Indian Territory after his brother Frank Dalton was shot and killed. Soon after he came back he took over being deputy marshal for his deceased brother. Bob also was a deputy marshal for Federal Court in Wichita, Kansas, working in the Osage Nation. He also served on some of his brother Frank's posses. Emmett Dalton worked on some of his brothers posses but earned most of his living working on the Bar X Bar Ranch near the Pawnee Agency.
