The October line-up:
AL JENNINGS – Here’s a lawyer who felt that, in order to defend a criminal, you first have to experience what it’s like to be one.
ELLIS BEAN – During his life, Ellis had one of the most unique relationships with Mexico. Over the years he was an enemy, jailed and a resident of the country to our south.
NAPOLEON JENNINGS – Texas Ranger, Jennings went to notify some fellow rangers that they were to be ambushed by outlaws, only to find he was the target of the people he was trying to save.
THOMAS BOWE – When playing poker, it’s best not to make fun of another player, even if he is your best friend. At least that’s what Thomas Bowe’s friend discovered.
CHARLES CANTLEY – Pressures on a lawman are great. The pressures on Deputy Sheriff Cantley drove him to drink, and brought his life to an abrupt end.
JOHN ALLMAN – Another story that illustrates the evils of poker, as Allman not only killed the other two players, he went on a killing spree throughout Arizona.
SATANTA – One of the Kiowa’s greatest chiefs who regularly had conflicts with the army, and finally, not wishing to spend the rest of his life in jail, tried to fly away.
MARKSMAN HOLLIDAY – Although Doc Holliday was known as a shootest, in reality his shooting skills were merely stories told by Doc and his friends. (See Picture)
STEVE LONG – Sometimes lawmen abused their authority. Long did it in aces; killing people just because they argued with him. But, the town took their revenge in the end.
CASSIUS HOLLISTER – Lawmen hate to be called on a family disturbance. Deputy U. S. Marshall Hollister got called on one to many.
SUTRO TUNNEL – Adolph Sutro found a way to get silver out of Comstock mines in Nevada, and although he wasn’t a miner, he made good money doing it.
MEDICINE LODGE TREATY – When the area of Oklahoma, designated for Indians, became attractive to white men, it was necessary to come up with another treaty. And, like most of the others, it wasn’t honored.
CAMILLO ORLANDO HANKS – With the changing face of cattle ranches during the later part of the 1800’s many a cowboy found himself out of work. And, like Hanks, they ended up going down the outlaw trail.
CURLY BILL KILLS WHITE – Curly Bill Brocius killed Tombstone Marshal Fred White in front of a number of witnesses, including Wyatt Earp. But, he was found innocent. Just why?
ABILENE, KANSAS – Abilene was the prototype of the Old West cattle towns. But, like all of the cattle towns, their heyday was short lived.
CALIFORNIA JOE – California Joe became George Custer’s chief of scouts one day and was fired the next.
HELENA, MONTANA – Unlike other boomtowns that began with the discovery of gold or silver, or the arrival of the railroad, Helena only grew when the boom left their town.
O. K. CORRAL I, II, III – The true story behind the O. K. Corral shootout…the causes, the shootout itself and the aftermath.
CRUZ VEGA – Even though the Bible teaches that vengeance belongs to God, Reverend Mains made sure the supposed killer of a fellow minister got human vengeance.
NEVADA BECOMES A STATE – Even though Nevada hadn’t met all the requirements of statehood, President Abraham Lincoln stepped in and made it happen for a special reason.
