The Day Coffeyville Bled - Paperback

by Mark S. Pannill (Author)

"The Day Coffeyville Bled" begins at the end of the Dalton/Johnson Gang as they are shot to pieces and lie dying in gutters, alleys, and empty fields after spending thirteen minutes longer on this earth than necessary. From the morning of Wednesday, October 5, 1892, through to as late as the year 2001, immediate family members of this gang survived and buried their secrets, but not as well as they would have hoped. Five marriages, three murders, two illegitimate children, real estate companies, motion pictures, and newspaper, magazine, and book publications all became part of what legends are made of as the Dalton/Johnson outlaw gang rode out of the nineteenth century straight into the twentieth century, while two of their number escape apprehension.
