Short Format Daily Radio Show

August 2008**

If you aren't familiar with the radio show, you can hear one of the twenty-one shows that we are airing for the month of August right now. Just click on the title "Bill Doolin" and be taken back to the Old West. It has been said of the show that the listener can actually "feel the leather and smell the gun smoke." Incidentally, all of the stories take place in the month in which they are aired.

**These shows will be available for sale in CD format as soon as the month is over.

The July 2008 Daily radio CD is now available!

The August line-up:

JOHN BAYLOR – Baylor spent his life hating Indians. Unfortunately, many times he was in a position of authority over them.

THE HAYFIELD FIGHT – One of the first battles against Indians where the troopers and whites had repeating rifles.

ZIP WYATT – Here’s a small-time outlaw, who at one time seemed to have every lawman in Oklahoma on his trail.

HERNANDEZ FAMILY – Gruesome murders happened in the Old West. But, the big difference is the response to those murders.

JIM REED – Another one of those obscure outlaws. But, his wife wasn’t obscure.

BATTLE OF RATTLESNAKE SPRINGS – A battle that seemed insignificant at the time, turned out to be the beginning of the end of the Indian threat in West Texas.

JIM CLARK – Jim’s story is that of an outlaw turned lawman. But, that transition wasn’t complete, and Jim paid the price.

GEORGE DAVIDSON – When George was in Alaska a total eclipse took place. It saved his life.

RED JACK GANG – Outlaws dressed in a wide variety of costumes, but the leader of the Red Jack Gang was the only one that we are aware of dressing in drag.

BIDDY MASON – Overcoming obstacles was a trait of people who came out west. But, no on overcame more serious obstacles than Biddy Mason.

MARK TWAIN'S STAGE RIDE – Stage travel was rough at best. And, even though Mark Twain was known for exaggerating, his writing about his stage ride was probably accurate.

THOMPSON-STERLING SHOOTOUT – Sometimes, when liquor is flowing freely and boredom reigns, friends turn on friends.

DENTIST CLAY ALLISON – Few men of the Old West have greater stories told about them than Clay Allison has.

THE KID KILLS FIRST MAN – Every famous outlaw has to kill his first man. This is the story of Kid Antrim’s.

CYRUS SKINNER – Sometimes it seems no matter how many times a person is punished for his bad actions, he never learns. But, there are ways of stopping this repetitive nature.

ED CRAWFORD – Old West lawmen were either fired by the mayor or fired upon by the outlaws. Both happened to Ed Crawford.

WILLIAM ARNETT – Arnett’s fate was that of most horse thieves. But he was buried with a couple of unusual items.

WILLIAM JOHNSON – In-laws can sometimes be a pain. But, none was as bad as those of William Johnson.

BILL DOOLIN – Like many a college student today, Bill Doolin attended a beer party. But this beer party resulted in Bill becoming an outlaw, and eventually dying of twenty bullet wounds.

ELIZABETH ANN CLIFTON – Truly, it took strong women to survive in the Old West. And, Elizabeth Ann was as strong as they came.

MASS LYNCHING – Although nine men were found lynched, no one talked about it, and it sure wasn’t reported in the newspaper.
