The April 2008 line-up:
MARQUIS DE MORES I & II – Marques De Mores, a French nobleman came to the Dakota badlands to make money in the cattle industry. Unfortunately for him, he not only got on the bad side of the locals, his ideas were way ahead of time.
JOHN WEBB – While in jail for murder, John refused to be broken out of jail…that is the first time it was offered, not the second time.
COMANCHE – Looking for hero’s following the Little Big Horn, an unusual one was selected, a horse named Comanche.
ED MASTERSON – Although he wasn’t reluctant to do his duty as a lawman, Ed Masterson was just too affable. And it cost him his life.
BUD FRAZER – Bud got into three gunfights with the same man…Killer Jim Miller. In the third one, Miller finished it with a shotgun.
RACIAL SLUR – Today a racial slur would result in a lawsuit. In 1881, it resulted in the death of four men.
ANNIE OAKLEY I & II – Phoebe Anne Moses, a slight girl from Ohio was probably one of the least likely people to be associated with the Wild West.
POLITICIAN CUSTER – Militarily Custer saw the saw the enemy and attacked. Political Custer tried the same thing, but it didn’t work.
THE MADAMS SHOOTOUT – In Old West El Paso there was more than one place to work, but the soiled doves didn’t want to change madams.
DENVER’S FIRE – As with most tragedies, Denver’s fire brought out the best and the worst from men.
WYATT EARP FIRED – While a deputy in Wichita, Wyatt held up for his boss and ended up being fired.
DEACON JIM MILLER – Jim Miller man was known as Deacon Miller and Killer Miller. And both names were correct.
BATTLE OF SAN JACINTO – This battle took place in just 18 minutes. But it changed the face of the southwest.
JOHN GLANTON I & II – John was an entrepreneur who was always looking for new business opportunities. And they usually involved killing.
PETER LASSEN – There are those people who aspire to be the president of a country. Peter Lassen wanted to start his own country.
STEAMSHIP SULTANA – Following the Civil War, captured Union Soldiers were returning home, when an unbelievable tragedy struck.
TEN MILES OF TRACK – Probably the greatest single achievement of the construction of the transcontinental railroad was the laying of ten miles of track in one day.
BILLY THE KID ESCAPES – When Billy the Kid realized he wasn’t going to get the amnesty he was promised, he escapes his captors.
HENRY NEWTON BROWN – Marshal Brown and his deputy took a few days off from work to rob a bank in nearby Medicine Lodge, Kansas.
