The November line-up:

APACHE KID I & II – In a short time the Apache Kid went from a trusted scout to being sentenced to be shot by a firing squad. But he managed to escape, never to be caught.

THOMAS J. SMITH – Marshall Smith tamed Abilene, Kansas without even using a gun. The way he did it is interesting.

NED CHRISTIE – The posse trying to arrest Christie used as much armament as used in a major battle. But Christie stuck it out to the end.

XIT RANCH – The XIT Ranch, or Ten In Texas Ranch “was like a farmer in Massachusetts turning out a cow to graze and finding her months later in Delaware.”

DANIEL STEEL KILLED – We’ve all had a bad meal at a restaurant. I doubt that any of us have done what Jack Carr did because of the bad meal. He killed the restaurant owner.

DOC HOLLIDAY – Doc Holliday went to his grave unable to accomplish the one thing he wanted to do all his adult life, die in a gun fight.

RUSSIAN BILL – William Rogers Tattenborn, also known as Russian Bill, was “A darn nuisance”. And it cost him his life, at the end of a rope.

RENDEZVOUS – William Ashley decided to take supplies to the mountain men rather than have them come to St. Louis. What he started was a tradition unlike anything we’ve seen since.

BILLY CLAIBORN – At the O.K. Corral shootout Billy bugged out. But he was unable to leave well enough alone, and ended up in a gunfight he couldn’t run away from.

INDEX NEWSPAPER – Frontier newspapers were unique. But none was as unique as the Index Newspaper with its 25 different locations.

WILLIAM BECKNELL – A trader in the early Southwest, Becknell was around at the time Mexico defeated Spain, and ended up discovering the famous Santa Fe Trail.

JAMES EAST – As a young cowboy James joined a posse that eventually captured Billy The Kid. This experience resulted in his spending the remaining fifty years of his life as a lawman.

TOM HORN – According to Tom, “Killing is my specialty. I look at it as a business proposition, and I think I have a corner on the market.”

CARRY NATION – Here’s an instance where a bad marriage not only affected the husband, it affected men throughout the country.

WILD BUNCH POSES FOR PICTURE – How a fun picture resulted in the demise of one of the Old West’s most famous gangs.

THOMAS CARSON – As a lawman Thomas was a bully. The people of Kansas couldn’t take him, but it was different for the people of Texas.

HARVEY WHITEHILL – Sheriff Whitehill wasn’t above deceiving outlaws in order to get convictions.

CUSTER COURT-MARTIALED – George Custer always seemed to live on the edge. In 1867, he stepped over it, and was court-martialed on eight counts.

THE DIAMOND HOAX – At the time of the California gold rush there were a number of get-rich-quick hoaxes. But none better than the one put together by two Kentucky cousins.

WILLIAM CRABTREE – Crabtree was an outlaw that ended up being arrested because of scientific crime techniques.

JIM BECKWOURTH – We’ve all been in situations that we’ve wondered how we got there. This one affected Beckwourth so much that he turned his back on white society.
