Book excerpt: The name DALTON powerfully evokes the popular image of the Wild West Outlaw. The Dalton Gang made history with a bold attempt to rob two banks at once in Coffeyville, Kansas on October 5, 1892. There has been an avalanche of Dalton literature, most of it downright fictitious. THE DALTON GANG STORY, however, is a masterful effort to set the record straight and to tell the real story of this frontier family. Several Dalton brothers were first U.S. Deputy Marshals before turning to crime. The book is copiously illustrated with many fine photographs as well as reproductions of source documents, family Bible and court records, newspaper articles, etc. "The book is nearly dazzling. It is highly recommended as the premier source for Dalton Gang researchers."--Paul Meredith--VIOLENT KIN. "THE DALTON GANG STORY ranks as the new high standard for accurate and primary information on this famous lawman-outlaw family."--Doug Ellison--WESTERN OUTLAW-LAWMAN HISTORY ASSOCIATION JOURNAL. "...Compelling saga...profusely illustrated, well documented, attractively presented and, perhaps above all, enjoyable to read."--Joanne L. Nance--THE VIRGINIA GENEALOGICAL NEWSLETTER. "Samuelson did her homework well and made a good story about outlaws into a good work of history."--Chuck Parsons--TRUE WEST. "An excellent job of presenting the facts...writing style is terrific."--Marley Brant, author of THE OUTLAW YOUNGERS. Shooting Star Press, 8962 Canberra Dr., Sacramento, CA 95826.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1892 the notorious Dalton gang concluded their days of outlawry at Coffeyville, Kansas, with a bold attempt to rob two banks at once in broad daylight. The raiders--Bob, Grat, and Emmett Dalton, Bill Powers, and Dick Broadwell--were nothing more than common hoodlums, says author Robert Barr Smith. The real heroes of the day were the townspeople, who spontaneously turned out in haste and in force to dispatch the outlaws in a bloody downtown shoot-out. Smith sorts out the truth from the legends and suggests answers to some of the perplexing questions about the Coffeyville fight--including whether or not there was a sixth man who got away. In addition, Smith recounts the violent aftermath of the fight: the trial and later life of Emmett Dalton, the only outlaw to survive the raid; and the bloody ends of the Dalton gang’s successors, Bill Doolin and Bill Dalton.

Book excerpt: Aged 65, Emmett Dalton is the last survivor of the legendary Dalton gang. Now he lives off his memories in Hollywood. Combining fact and fiction, Ron Hansen depicts the outlaw past of the Daltons and the West they travelled. The Dalton brothers turn from being peace officers in the Indian territories to a life of rustling. When their leader, Bob, meets Eugenia Moore, a schoolteacher who begins to plan their robberies, they become the most notorious outlaws of their time. As their raids, on trains and banks, become more daring and successful the price on their heads and the pursuit of the law increase. Then they ride into Coffeyville, intending to rob both the town's banks. Ron Hansen was the first writer to approach the mythology of the West with the intent of rewriting history, to show the mixed motives and dubious intentions of heroes and outlaws alike. In Hansen's carefully styled authentic voice (drawing on contemporary newspapers and accounts) his novels would pave the way for Cormac McCarthy's Border trilogy. Combining historical research with his novelist's imagination and ability to evoke character, Ron Hansen rewrites the history of the American West, and revises the romanticised mythology of violence created by Hollywood.

Book excerpt: Train robbers, horse thieves, murderers. These are only a few of the accusations leveled against the Dalton Gang, the fraternal band of Western lawmen turned outlaws in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Daring in their exploits, the gang members turned their backs on laws they found to be criminally flawed and stole horses, bootlegged whiskey into Indian Territory, and committed the first American train robbery. A rare firsthand account originally published in 1918, this volume details the time when sheriffs were paid for each man they hanged, law enforcement rode under the banner of "Smith & Wesson" rather than "To Serve and Protect," and outlaws ruled the rails.

Book excerpt: They were Oklahoma's most infamous outlaws, gentleman bandits who robbed trains and banks until meeting their end in a blaze of gunfire on the streets of Coffeyville, Kansas. They were first cousins of the Younger brothers who had ridden with Jesse James, stole horses from Will Rogers' father, and hid out with Belle Starr's daughter Pearl. Less known is the fact that they started out as respected deputy U. S. marshals, until politics and recklessness led them to a life of crime. Their first train robbery was in California, resulting in the trial of the century for that state, followed by a jailbreak aided by a prominent politician. Back in Oklahoma and Indian Territories they robbed more trains, gaining notoriety and support from the common people of the area. In 1892 they tried to rob two banks at once in their home town of Coffeyville, but the citizens took up arms against them in a gunfight that left eight people dead. Based on meticulous research into original source documents from the National Archives, period newspaper accounts, and Emmett Dalton's memoirs, this book dispels many of the myths about the Daltons, reveals many new details about their career, and dramatically brings to life their personalities and motivations. It's a stirring story of young men hell-bent on excitement and adventure.

Book excerpt: This is the first-ever biography of Emmet Dalton, an American-born Dubliner, Home Ruler and later Republican, whose extraordinary military career as a British officer, IRA leader and General in the Free State army brought him from Flanders to Beal na Bláth. A decorated hero of the Battle of the Somme, he returned from the war with the rank of Captain and transferred his military expertise to the now rampant IRA, serving as Director of Training, and greatly impressing Michael Collins with his extraordinary daring and nerve. Soon befriending Collins and becoming his close confidante, he accompanied him to the Treaty talks in London in 1921, and in the Civil War that followed Dalton oversaw the bombardment of the Four Courts, personally manning an 18-pounder artillery gun. He then masterminded and led the audacious seaborne landings and successful recapture of Cork City and Munster Republic from Anti-Treaty forces, but was ultimately traumatised when Collins died in his arms at Beal na Bláith. In his expansive biography, Sean Boyne vividly portrays Dalton's experiences and the vital role he played in the politics and wars that created the independent Irish state. Dalton was the first Senate Clerk and he became a pioneer of the Irish film world, founding Ardmore film studios and establishing the Irish Film industry. An attractive and high-achieving figure in Irish life in war and peace, Dalton's heroism allowed him to live his many lives to the full, and this compelling biography does justice to a figure who will captivate all those interested in modern Irish history and the birth of the state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 5, 1892, the last of the major outlaw gangs of the Old West was destroyed in a gun battle in Coffeyville, a small town in southeastern Kansas. When the smoke cleared, eight men were dead and three others were seriously injured. Four of the dead were members of the notorious Dalton Gang: Dick Broadwell, Bill Powers, and two brothers, Bob and Grat Dalton. A fifth outlaw, twenty-one-year-old Emmett Dalton, was captured alive but with twenty-three bullet and buckshot wounds. Emmett Dalton not only survived Coffeyville but prospered. After serving a fourteen-year prison term at the Kansas state penitentiary, he moved to Southern California. In a world completely foreign to him, he published two accounts of his and his brothers’ exploits (both of which were made into movies) and became a celebrity who worked with the first generation of Hollywood cowboys and one of Los Angeles’s most respected property developers. Ian Shaw’s Into the Sunset is the remarkable story of Emmett Dalton and how he and his brothers drifted from one side of the law to the other in the frontier lands of the late nineteenth century. It is the story of shoot-’em-ups and train robberies, of the closing frontier, and of what desperate men in desperate times do to survive. Following Dalton to California, Shaw tells the story of how Emmett was able to live a life that would become the stuff of legend and achieve the level of success that was once the object of each member of the Dalton Gang.

The more than a dozen stories answer questions such as: Is it possible that a family of four living on the Kansas prairie got away with serial murder for more than three years and escaped to another part of the country to continue their killing spree? Are there still remnants of a late widow’s fortune buried throughout her property? Is the well-marked grave of Buffalo Bill Cody indeed his final resting place, or did some loyal friends surreptitiously remove him from Colorado and fulfill his last wish to be buried near his namesake town? From rumors of the Dalton gang’s buried treasures to the disappearance of an entire town, Kansas Myths and Legends makes history fun and pulls back the curtain on some of the state's most fascinating and compelling stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At seventeen, Emmett Dalton leaves his life as a cowboy behind to follow two of his older brothers into law enforcement in untamed Indian Territory during the winter of 1889. Circumstances change, however, and by the age of nineteen Emmett has become a full-fledged member of one of the wests most notorious and most feared outlaw gangs--the Dalton Gang. Torn between his adoration of his brother Bob, the gangs leader, and his moral objections to the gangs activities, Emmett eventually finds himself a key participant in one of the most infamous acts in the history of the Old West: the Dalton Gangs daring double bank robbery in Coffeyville, Kansas on October 5, 1892. Based upon historical fact, In The Shadow of Death Alley examines the inner-workings of the Dalton Gang from the point of view of its youngest member--and its sole survivor.
