Great account, with a sad ending. Seems like a genuine hero, mostly.
Family tradition has us related to Billy Doolin. Supposedly my grandfather referred to him as Uncle Billy. I don't really know if it's true, because mom's effort to build the family tree have failed to make a connection. The area fits our family though, as does the rough demeanor on that side. He was turned into a sieve by a shotgun, eventually.
Cool Dalton gang @anotherjoe And you should try ancestry.com or something like that. It does help. Anyhow, I will be re-steeming my friends post shortly, if you could please give it a look over and see what you think. thanks
full $teem ahead!
I let my mom to the tree stuff. She's good at it and uses ancestry.com and other resources.
We stopped by the Dalton Gang hangout in Kansas a few years ago. Wasn't exciting, but interesting. :)
History, especially when it pertains to our personal past, is so intriguing. To wonder what our relatives would go through, for example, how a simple toothache today can be so miserable and yet how would they do it back then? So many questions of the past, I guess the answers make us who we are today.
