Great video. Interesting note, Grat Dalton served as a deputy marshal under Judge Isaac Parker before turning outlaw. He was in a shootout in Berryhill Oklahoma with a couple of outlaw Creek Indians. He spoke up for one of them to the judge and the man was released shortly after. That man is buried in Tigerbone cemetery in Creek Co Oklahoma.

Another cool video. I may turn into a binge watcher. lol I'm sure you've probably seen 'You Know My Name' movie about Bill Tilghman where Bill and Arkansas Tom are helping them reinact the Ingals shootout in Hollywood. That was pretty funny. I think Arkansas Tom is buried in Joplin. Not sure where Tilghman is buried. There's a kind of memorial sign in Cromwell that I saw when I drove through there one time, just so I could see what Cromwell looked like. My great grandfather did quite a bit of time in that Guthrie jail for bootlegging. I was told they liked it when he was there because he was an excellent cook. I'm told the entire family cemetery plot (a big long row at old cemetery at hwy 74 & 51 crossroads) was paid for with moonshine.

If you like the Old West then I have quite a bit for you to watch. You're right about Arkansas Tom being in Joplin. Tilghman is in Chandler Cemetery. I have done a video on him but it was early on in my channel so I will be revisiting at some point to do something more on him. The sign they have for him in Cromwell is pretty neat and really all that is out there for him. It was a whole corrupt deal the way he went out. It has been said his friends went out there and burned the town down after things didn't go well with the prosecution. Nothing remains of when Bill was there. It's interesting to learn of this early time period here in Oklahoma and even the smaller stories such as your family's. Thanks for watching and sharing!

Doolin' Dalton is one of my favourite Eagle's songs and I've played it on the piano for years. As an Aussie I wouldn't have heard of Doolin or Dalton or any of them if it weren't for the Eagles. Music is a wonderful teacher, a kind healer, and a great equaliser. But Rhetty is a great teacher too! Love your vidz, and I enjoyed this one too! Thank you : ) But what a rough way to live back then! And I would LOVE to see inside!! I can't believe these places are still there. The old jail SHOULD be preserved!

That is interesting how The Eagles song made Doolin and Dalton more known. Especially overseas. It really is a good album. Thanks for the kind words as well as watching my videos. Guthrie has so many historic places and many of them are well preserved. It has more on the National Register of Historic Places than any other place in the United States. But this jail really needs to be utilized some how. It's a little worrisome now that it's more hidden.

@@RhettyforHistory I think a lot of songs are responsible for teaching us about historical events .. look at Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". There's over 6000 wrecks at the bottom of the Great Lakes but how many are known all around the world? I learned so much from that song that it made me want to research every possible detail about the whole tragedy from beginning to end, so here's one Aussie who knows more about 'The Big Fitz' than some Canadians probably do. I've been a music teacher and performer for my whole working life, but history and English were my other subjects - I think it's impossible to separate one from the others because they're so wonderfully connected. Music is a great teacher!

I did take I-35 and I'm planning on doing some stuff out in that Mulhal area at some point. Interesting what you found on Google earth. I didn't think about looking on there. I would have guessed it had been long abandoned before that time frame. Sounds like it may have been a good tourist attraction at one point or at least that was the goal. Not much is out there and it is out of the way from major traffic. It would certainly be expensive to maintain. Thanks again for sharing your find and I appreciate you watching!

Could you do a video on The great hanging of Gainesville, Texas in 1862? They have a memorial to the victims in downtown Gainesville in the lot where they suspect most of the hangings took place between California and Main Street. Little Gainesville, TX made world news in 1862-1863. It even made the front page of the London Times! Id love to hear your thoughts on it, sir. Great content!

Great video. You should do one on the Three Guardsmen. Chris Madsen is buried not far from your home. Heck Thomas was a message runner for his father in the Civil War when he was a boy. His father was Quartermaster for his brother General Thomas. General Thomas is buried in my hometown. Two other uncles were officers in the war. One was killed at Knoxville when he yelled charge he was shot sixteen times. He is buried not far from TU campus in a small cemetery. One was captured at Vicksburg in the surrender. All three of the Guardsmen have very interesting stories. Madsen was on the burial detail at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

My gosh, how the countryside has changed due to our ability to change landscapes. I will say that the South East was as wild as the Wild West. For instance, Rube Burrows and his gang made enough news across America, that the Salt Lake City newspaper carried the story of Rube's partner committing suicide in the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Jackson about 15 years after their most famous train robbery in which a gunfight ensued. I own the pistol that the train conductor dropped on the tracks. My great grandfather had been in the posse that went to the scene of the robbery, and he picked the pistol up. You have to be brave to research such a story because I found out my great grandfather had been in the saloon where the Sheriff raised the posse at 2 in the morning of December 26, 1880, rather than at home with his widowed mother.

No, they dont look reconditioned. Wood from those days easily lasted 100 years or more. I've helped a guy I know whose Grandpa had a rather large tract of land -700 to 800 acres. At one time it was a small plantation. We dismantled part of the main house which was made from heart pine perhaps in the 1850's. These boards were in such good quality even 5 years ago, that he used them to reconstruct a smaller house on the property. The wood looks just about like what those buildings look like.

The book said that residents tried to make Ingalls a tourist destination so could they have built the buildings then? Using older wood and old windows would have made them look old instantly. There is a book that was used in a course at OU that gives lots of info that you might find interesting. It is 'Stories of Old-Time Oklahoma' by David Dary. Lots of info on Oklahoma history up to famous people from Indian Territory to the 1950s. If you don't have it is a good one to get. Yes, I have more than my share of books on Oklahoma.

Doolin promise Bill Tilghman that he would not escape if Bill would promise not to take him from Eureka Springs into Southwest City, MO on their way back to Oklahoma where during a robbery Bill had shot brothers - one dying the following day, the other lived in so much pain he would die in the sanitarium 10 years later. The bullet passed thru both men and Bill knew that the citizens of Southwest City would lynch him for the crime. Doolin was in Eureka Springs for the healing power of the waters over his injured foot.

Seems we have family that lived in that area for a while before they moved up to the Jennings area. Dad was looking for a tombstone there that was supposedly a relative. I do have a great uncle who was a sheriff in Payne County where Ingalls is located.

This was very interesting. However, you should look up US Marshal Rufus Cannon. He was my great-great-grandfather who was part of the posse that killed Bill Doolin. The newspapers printed that my grandfather issued the fatal shot that killed Doolin, but it was later retracted and credit was given to Thomas. This may have been because he was a black US Marshal in the 1890s. Good content. Just thought you might want to know.
