Short Format Daily Radio Show

May 2007**

If you aren't familiar with the radio show, you can hear one of the twenty-three shows that we are airing for the month of May right now. Just click on the title "John Wesley Harden's 21st" and be taken back to the Old West. It has been said of the show that the listener can actually "feel the leather and smell the gun smoke." Incidentally, all of the stories take place in the month in which they are aired.

**These shows will be available for sale in CD format as soon as the month is over.

The MAY line-up:

TOMBSTONE EPITAPH I & II – John Clum founded the Tombstone Epitaph that, prior to and following the O.K. Corral, supported the Earps. And, Clum’s fate was the same as the Earps after the shootout.

PIERCE AND “BITTER CREEK” KILLED – An illustration of how outlaws need to keep an eye on their friends as well as their enemies.

CHARLIE LAZURE – Although Charlie wasn’t really a bad man, he was evidentially bad enough to get the nickname of “Rattlesnake Dick.”

ISAAC PARKER I, II & III – The story of how Isaac Parker became federal judge in the Indian Territory and eventually was known as “The Hanging Judge.”

NEWSPAPERS REPORT GOLD DISCOVERY – The two newspapers that first reported the California gold strike only did so for a few weeks. You’ll be amused to find out why.

THE GREAT REPUBLIC – A story that illustrates the Biblical principal of casting your bread upon the water.

GEORGE MALEDON – An associate of “Hanging Judge” Isaac Parker who made his nickname possible. Maledon was Parker’s hangman.

WIND WAGON – Samuel Peppard didn’t let his not having horses or oxen hamper him from traveling out west in his wagon. He used a resource in abundance in the Kansas Territory.

JAMES REAVIS – Reavis was without a doubt one of the greatest con men of the Old West. You’ll enjoy his biggest scam.

POKER FOR CATTLE – No penny-ante poker here. In place chips, cattle was placed on the table with winner take all.

UNDELIVERED TELEGRAM – Many a telegram was sent during the Old West. And most were delivered. One telegram that wasn’t delivered cost the lives of 125 settlers and Indians.

DICK FELLOWS – We think of Old West outlaws as good horsemen. But that sure wasn’t true of Dick Fellows.

JESSE TYLER – Jesse was a lawman in Utah who, unfortunately, got caught up in political correctness, and it caught him his life.

BOB LEATHERWOOD – Leatherwood accomplished a lot around the area of Tucson, Arizona Territory. But, he had to admit that the one he was most famous for happened as the result of an accident.

KIT CARSON I & II – Carson was a true frontiersman, diplomat, Indian agent, military genius and leader of men who had a secret his whole life. It was that he was illiterate.

CHARLES CORA – Cora was just waiting to be released from jail when he was joined by James Casey. From there things went downhill, all the way to the hangman’s noose.

JOHN WESLEY HARDEN'S 21st – Harden was just as famous during his lifetime as he is today. Like some parties today, his 21st birthday party ended up in the cops showing up, and some dead bodies.

PEARL HART I & II – Just as the Old West was winding down, Hart put it back on the front page with a stage holdup. After being captured, this woman, the size of a bar of soap, became a big pain in the neck.
