Howdy jayna! Thanks so much for the kind words. The hanging was really bizarre! The place was packed out because he was such a famous outlaw. I guess there were alot of gasps from the audience and a few people fainted!

The way I do my research depends on the subject. I usually try to find a great historical account with tons of research and documentation that the author has done, almost all my stories are from exhaustively researched projects done by historians.

But I also use many state archive sites and historical society sites for more information and photos. In other words, I usually spend way too much time and it's not worth it so I may be backing off soon. lol.
