Daltons

Had to go to N.E. Oklahoma, so we decided to journey on up to Coffeyville, KS for the Dalton Defenders Days. Went to the museum, which I haven't been to in decades. Here's a few pics.; I'll upload some more to photobucket when I get home and post a link to that section.

Bob Dalton's Bulldog.



Bob Dalton's Colt from when he was a Deputy U.S. Marshal.



Bill Dalton's Colt from when he was killed in 1894.



Grat Dalton's rifle he carried during the bank robberies.



Ooops...Emmett Dalton had a boo-boo.

The Condon Bank.



Bob and Emmett on the way to the First National Bank (a facade).



Grat Dalton, Bill Powers, and Dick Broadwell entering the Condon Bank.



The gun fight is on.



Death Alley.

A few of the many bullet holes in the bricks of the alley.



Interior of the Condon Bank.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Cool pics and report.

Great Pics Mike! Have been thru Perkins on several occasions.

Looks like a great experience. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for that post! I remember reading about this incident many years ago, and was always fascinated with it.

Got some pics. up on photobucket. Thought I would be able to edit then zoom in and save some zoomed, but I guess not...either that or I don't know how to do it.

If you hit the "view image" button the pic. will come up a bit larger.

I was discussing the Dalton guns with some collectors on a firearms site, and mentioned I had seen where Bob's engraved Colt had sold at auction.

One of the experts located some provenance on it.

Fun facts to file and forget.

Nothing real interesting…just a footnote. I was real close to Adair, Ok so I took a few pictures where the Dalton’s robbed a train in 1892.

A little sign.



The bustling downtown Adair, I.T. I always thought it was neat when I was about 5 years old and Granddad, who had a farm about 10 miles from there, would take me to the store that has the Coca-Cola sign on it and let me go in all by myself and buy a soda.



Looking north at the train tracks. There are no remnants of the old train station so I don't know exactly where it was located except that it was on the west side of the tracks next to town.



A look to the south at the tracks...that durn train station was around here somewhere.



Another shot of thriving downtown Adair, that is all of two blocks long.
