The April 2010 line-up:
TOMBSTONE, ARIZONA FOUNDED – On April 1, 1877, Ed Schieffelin decided to go prospecting in southern Arizona. Everyone though he was a fool.
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.
BLAZER’S MILL SHOOTOUT – During the Lincoln County War, a gang of 13 Regulators, including Billy the Kid were out shot by just one man.
RICHARDSON/LOVING GUNFIGHT – One of Dodge City’s most famous gunfights, in reality it was just one more fight over a woman.
CHARLES M. RUSSELL I & II – Charles Russell was a cowboy who just happened to be an artist. But, when he met Nancy Cooper, things changed.
GEORGE SCARBOROUGH – George is known for being the man who killed the man who killed the famous man…John Wesley Harden.
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.
BUTCH CASSIDY – Butch was probably the least likely looking and acting head of a bandit gang. But, he sure did a great job of leading outlaws.
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.
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.

JOHN GLANTON I & II – John was an entrepreneur who was always looking for new business opportunities. And they usually involved killing.
JESSE JAMES MARRIED I & II – Jesse James’ marriage to his first cousin was quite an affair. Even the Pinkertons showed up.
THE GREAT NEWSPAPER BATTLE – In the Old West, being the first in getting the news out wasn’t always important. But, in this instance, a twenty-minute scoop was the difference between success and failure.
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.
