As a ten-year-old boy in Coffeyville, my grandfather was an eyewitness to the gunning down of the Daltons.

More "Wild West" please, it's a fascinating period of American history. Also, thank you.

Emmett Dalton was sentenced to the Kansas State Penitentiary in the city of Lansing. When I worked there as a guard in 1979 his prisoner file was still in the records office. And no, he didn’t spend the rest of his life there, if I remember correctly, he was released after 14 years, during which he was a model prisoner.

[TotallyNotElPresidente]

Not even gonna mention the legendary cowboy "Lucky Luke" who spent half his career chasing them down over and over and over again?

[coreykneedler]

Coffeyville is my hometown! I live literally a block away from where the Dalton gang fell! Thank you for this!

They were duelin', Doolin-Dalton
High or low, it was the same
Easy money and faithless women
Red-eye whiskey for the pain
Go down, Bill Dalton, it must be God's will,
Two brothers lyin' dead in Coffeyville
Two voices call to you from where they stood
Lay down your law books now
They're no damn good
Better keep on movin', Doolin-Dalton
'Til your shadow sets you free
If you're fast, and if you're lucky

I live 5 miles south of coffeyville ks. There's a cave that has their names carved in it. Not sure if them or was others later in time. Love seeing local history on here

Definitely heard about these two from the Eagles song (Doolin' Dalton) and the sequel (Doolin' Dalton reprise/ Desperado) before this, but I never knew the full story. This was facisinating to learn the full context behind the songs.

[Boggythefroggy]

My favourite song by The Eagles is about this gang, I loved learning the history of it.

[briandaniels]

I absolutely loved this video and you're telling of it.I am a long time fan of The Eagles album "Desperado" which has the story of The Doolin-Dalton Gang immortalized in the form of brilliant song.Thank you again and have a wonderfully fulfilling day.

Love the clips of Tombstone, Once Upon a Time in the West, and Sam Peckinpah's classic The Wild Bunch!
Also, "The Wild Bunch" was the name of several outlaw gangs in those days - the other famous Bunch being Butch Cassidy's crew. It was a popular name, to be sure.

[bacountess]

I am a descent of the Dalton Gang my grandparents went to Coffeyville in 1982 they said get out!! Great memories… Thank You for this Doc.

Thank you, Biographics, for producing and publishing such excellent videos on important historical figures. They're both informative and entertaining. Looking forward to more videos!

The OK Corral: I'm the greatest gunfight in the history of the Wild West.
The Battle of Ingles: Hold my beer, watch this.

[davidtaylor]

Great content as usual. Love all of your channels, Simon! Always look forward to watching

[rubencolvill]

Please could you do a video on Richard Feynman? He was a very interesting man and it would be great to hear his story in your unique style.

[ddalton]

Hey, my family made YouTube. Cool. We still own property right outside Coffeyville. One of the banks is still in operation, and my dad who is also a Bob Dalton gets the jokes.

[gennehring]

"Dick Speed" what a legendary name...I wonder if his cousin Hypersonic Yeet, survived the shootout.

[Marco_Onyxheart]

Lucky Luke taught me that each of the Daltons was taller and dumber than their older peers, and only the oldest brother had any intelligence to speak of.

I’ve been listening/watching more of the Casual Criminalist recently than Biographics. It’s quite jarring seeing Simon back to being “sort of” serious! I’ve got so used the relaxed chat aspect of how he delivers The Casual Criminalist content!
