The June line-up:
JOHN HARDEN IN ABILENE – When John Wesley Harden arrived in Abilene, Kansas, this deadliest of pistoleroes was number two in that town. This story of what happened is intriguing.
CHARLES MCINTYRE – Even though Charles was just a bystander at a shooting, he ended up being one of the people lynched by a vigilante committee. The reason may have had nothing to do with the shooting.
WILCOX TRAIN ROBBERY – Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch weren’t always successful in their robberies. This is one instance.
WILLIAM HENDERSON – Henderson was an outlaw who operated in the Indian Territory with impunity by traveling back and forth between jurisdictions. But, vigilantes put a stop to his actions.
RED BEARD'S BAR – Outlaws sometime try to change their ways. Red Beard tried by opening a bar. Unfortunately, for him, it was easier being an outlaw.
83 HOUR TRAIN SERVICE – When the transcontinental railroad was completed it took just 83 hours to go from New York to San Francisco. But, for some passengers it could take ten or more days. (See Picture)
CHIEF ESKIMINZIN – In the battle between the white man and the Indian there was probably no stranger act than that committed by Chief Eskiminzin on June 5, 1871.
DODGE CITY PEACE COMMISSION I & II – Luke Short was run out of Dodge City, Kansas. Later he returned with Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson and several other friends. Luke’s problem was solved by “speaking softly and carrying a big stick.”
CAMP GRANT MASSACRE – The story of how a young girl miles away saved the lives of six Apache babies.
SAN FRANCISCO VIGILANCE COMMITTEE I & II – With the town of San Francisco overrun with criminals and the court corrupt, the citizens decided to take the situation in their own hands.
PAULINE CUSHMAN – The Old West had a tendency to grind people down. And, tragically, no one was ground down more than Pauline Cushman.
WILLIAM DANIELS – Although lawman William Daniels isn’t known today, if you were an Arizona outlaw you sure wouldn’t want him on your trail.
WILD BILL HICKOK, SHOWMAN – Wild Bill Hickok tried his hand as a showman like his friend Buffalo Bill Cody. But it seems he had no stage presence.
JOHN LARN I & II – Although John Larn committed a number of atrocities, the law never chased him. But that doesn’t mean his friends didn’t do the job the law should have.
STAND WATIE – The last southern general to surrender following the Civil War wasn’t a southern gentleman, but a Cherokee Indian.
MARTIN SWEENY – Although the movies show men engaged in face-to-face shootouts, actual gun deaths were usually the way it happened to Martin Sweeny.
BATTLE OF ADOBE WALLS – Many times medicine men were an inspiration in leading their braves into battle. Medicine man Isatai’s inspiration ended up being tragic.
ABEL HEAD PIERCE – Abel Pierce was a cowboy from Rhode Island who’s name didn’t impress anyone. But when he became Shanghai Pierce, things changed.
