Daltons!: The Raid on Coffeyville, Kansas

*New*

In October 1892, the infamous Dalton gang brought their reign of lawlessness to a close in Coffeyville, Kansas, through a daring endeavor to simultaneously rob two banks in broad daylight. According to author Robert Barr Smith, the assailants - Bob, Grat, and Emmett Dalton, Bill Powers, and Dick Broadwell - were merely common criminals. The true heroes of the event were the townspeople, who promptly and energetically mobilized to confront and neutralize the outlaws in a violent gun battle that unfolded in the heart of the city. Smith meticulously separates fact from fiction and offers insights into the enigmatic aspects of the Coffeyville confrontation, including the possibility of a sixth gang member managing to evade capture. Furthermore, Smith chronicles the aftermath of the skirmish, delving into the trial and subsequent life of Emmett Dalton - the sole outlaw to survive the raid - and the violent fates that awaited the Dalton gang's successors, Bill Doolin and Bill Dalton.
