e/Doolin Dalton

New Query

Information
has glosseng: The song Doolin-Dalton is talking about William (Bill) Doolin and Emmett Dalton. On July 4, 1891, several cowboys decided to go over to Coffeyville, Kansas and throw a party. There was a keg of beer there and Kansas is a dry state. So when the law showed up to try to confiscate the beer there was a shoot-out and two officers were wounded. From that day forth Bill Doolin was on the dodge. By September of that year Bill Doolin was riding with the Dalton Brothers. He participated in many train robberies but he would not participate in their fatal raid on two banks in Coffeyville, Kansas on October 5, 1892. There has been rumors saying that he could have possibly been the mysterious sixth rider that day. But whether he was the 6th man, or Bob Dalton was jealous of Bill's growing popularity in the gang, or that Bob considered him too much of a "wildcat" and too uncontrollable, one thing is for sure he was a lucky man on that day.
