The December line-up:
WYATT EARP BOXING REFEREE – Because of his celebrity status, while in San Francisco, Wyatt refereed a title-boxing match. I’m sure he enjoyed the O.K. Corral shootout better.
ALBERT JENNINGS FOUNTAIN – Newspaper reporters go to dangerous places to follow the news. Fountain found himself in such a dangerous place, that he had to become a woman to get out.
JOHN HEATH – During the Old West people joined posies for all kinds of reasons. You’ll be surprised at John Heath’s reason.
BENJAMIN RUSH MILAM – Benjamin Milam was a hero of the Texas revolution. Most people don’t know of his accomplishments. After you hear this story, you’ll know why.
CAMILLUS SIDNEY FLY - Tombstone, Arizona’s erstwhile photographer missed out on getting some historic pictures. And, no one knows just why.
RENO GANG LYNCHED - There were a lot of lynchings during the Old West. But no lynching was as predictable as that of the Reno Gang.
TEXAS RANGERS SURRENDER - The Texas Rangers have a reputation of bravery and service to their State. Here’s one time that didn’t happen.
CHARLES GOODNIGHT - Goodnight was an early cattleman who was an innovator. One of his lesser-known innovations resulted in cowboys “eatin’ good” on the trail.
JAMES GREATHOUSE – Known as “Whiskey Jim” Greathouse sold and consumed more than his share of whiskey. He also did some rustling, until he took the wrong man’s cattle.
PATRICK COUGHLIN – Coughlin had great plans on how he would become rich as an outlaw. Unfortunately, he ran into an obstacle that wasn’t in his plans…a firing squad.
BENJAMIN EDWARDS – Ten years before the revolution that created an independent Texas, Edwards tried his own revolution. When it failed, he wasn’t around to pick up the pieces.
JOHN CHISUM – Although his roll was a quiet one, cattleman John Chisum was very much involved in the Lincoln County War. And, when it was over John lost much of his wealth and power.
DR. GEORGE GOODFELLOW – When President Garfield was assassinated, he had the best eastern doctors tending his wounds. Had he been shot in Tombstone, Arizona, he very well could have survived.
CHARLES BOWDRE – Bowdre had a hard time making up his mind whether he wanted to be an outlaw or a family man and rancher. He made the wrong decision.
SIOUX MASS HANGING – Had President Lincoln not commuted a number of sentences, there would have been a mass hanging of 307 men, instead of 39.
THE BACA BOYS – Misbehaving in church has gotten many a boy in trouble. But, I’m not aware of anyone being killed because of the misbehaving.
AN OLD WEST CHRISTMAS – The story of Denver’s first Christmas. It set a standard for all Christmases to come.
TIBURCIO VASQUEZ GANG I & II – Tiburcio did crazy things like hold up a whole town. And, even though he was hanged, he was a hero to many a person.
VIRGIL EARP SHOT AGAIN – Virgil had hardly recovered from his wounds at the O.K. Corral Shootout when the cowboys came after him again.
STUDEBAKER VEHICLES – Classic car collectors are familiar with the Studebaker automobiles. But, the Studebaker brothers were making vehicles back in 1852.
