The September 2009 line-up:
DOOLAN SHOOTOUT – This event could have been called “The Shootout at the O.K. Hotel,” but there might have been a problem with an event that took place eleven years earlier.
IRA ATEN – Ira was so affected with the experience of observing the death of Sam Bass that he determined to become a champion of law and order.
CRAZY HORSE – One of the great Indian war chiefs, Crazy Horse ended up dieing in an undignified way.
JESSIE JAMES BORN – Although Jessie James fans don’t like admitting it, he wasn’t a Robin Hood.

RAWHIDE, NEVADA BURNS – Like many frontier boom towns, nature holds its destiny.
WRONG MEN HANGED – After hearing this story, partakers of alcoholic beverages may go on the wagon.
SCOTT COOLEY – During the 1870’s Texas was full of feuds. Scott was instrumental in starting the Mason County War that went on for 16 years.
JAMES-YOUNGER COMPANY I & II – The James-Younger gang raised outlawry to the level of a successful business. But they ran into trouble when they tried to expand to Minnesota.
THE MCCARTYS – Whether brother, brother-in-law or nephew, the McCartys keep their bank robbing in the family.
MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE – Mormons and Paiute Indians attack and kill a wagon train of Gentiles, resulting in government troops coming to Utah.
BEN HOLLIDAY – This king of transportation cut one too many corners, and found himself afoot.
CROOK'S STARVATION MARCH – The life of a frontier soldier was a rough one. And Crook’s march made it even worse.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT – On September 14, 1901, Roosevelt becomes President, and attributes it to his experience as a cowboy.
DOG BITE MURDERS – Here’s an incident that started with a dog bite, and ended up involving the President of the United States.
FIRST TRANSCONTINENTAL MAIL SERVICE – Anytime you think traveling in a car or airplane is difficult, just think about this story of traveling in a stagecoach.
ROMAN NOSE – Roman Nose proved that it’s not to be debated that if someone believes something strong enough, it will come true.
OLIVER PERRY – A most interesting story of a single man’s attempt to rob a train, and his trying to escape.
CHIEF JOSEPH DIES – Chief Joseph always tried to maintain peace. But he is known for his ability to be victorious against the army.
OLIVER LOVING – As you hear about Loving’s death, you’ll be reminded of the death of Gus in Lonesome Dove.
BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS TREED – Mexican Juan Cortina, seeing his family’s land holdings shrink took action against the Gringos.
LEW WALLACE – Lew Wallace was the governor of New Mexico at the time of the Lincoln County War. Could it be that he wasn’t a good governor because he was busy writing Ben Hur?
