Book excerpt: Excerpt from Clay Allison of the Washita: First a Cow Man and Then an Extinguisher of Bad Man, Recollections of Colorado, New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle For a number of years there has been appearing in the Saturday Evening Post several interesting stories of Western happenings, written by some eminent authors. At last there appeared a particularly interesting number and one where the scenes were laid close to some of my old stamping grounds, where I was doing my very best to be a good and well behaved Cow Puncher, relating incidents and mentioning some characters that I had heard of and some men that I knew, while "on the range." It occurred to me that perhaps one or two of these writers might know of others that I had known, so, with some fear and trembling, I wrote some of them, asking if they knew certain fellows in the old "wooley, eat'em alive" days. I mentioned Clay Allison, whom I happened to know, and incidentally suggested that if they knew Clay, that they were the right ones to put in history the life of this "wooliest of the wooley," since he had so many weird and unique ways of killing his victims, some twelve or thirteen. It had been my privilege to be acquainted with this Masterful Man with the gun and I would like very much to see some of his exploits written by some men who knew him and knew how to write. I received some very kind and courteous letters from these writers and they answered that they did not know Allison, but since I knew him, that it would be advisable for me to gather such facts and all of the data possible and put it together in a sketch, and send it in, and that they thought they could dig out enough material to use for some future article in the Saturday Evening Post or some other magazine. I started this work, using odd times, and became very much interested, as the work enabled me to locate and renew many old acquaintances with whom I had not "fanned" for forty years and at the same time I have been gaining many new acquaintances "who were there" but whom I had not met. One man I dug up was Charley Seringo, now at Santa Fe. Charley was a frequenter of our country on the Palo Duro country of the Pan Handle, Texas, and knew and was associated with all of the big Cattle Men from the coast to Montana, as cow boy, as foreman of outfits, as Indian fighter, and as a chaser of all kinds of thieves, horse, cattle or otherwise, and of late years as a Wild West Detective, running down cattle rustlers, outlaws, and since which period has written several books. He told me of the sad fates of many I knew - some got in jail, some were hung - and he mentioned some who have crossed the Divide and how each left an enviable past. He mentioned one who was a prominent fighter at the Adobe Walls Battle, under Billie Dixon and Bat Masterson in 1874.

Download or read book Tall Tales and Half Truths of Clay Allison written by Donna Blake Birchell and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sort outlandish fiction from no-less-outrageous fact in this wild ride with the West's Gentleman Gunfighter. Robert Andrew Clay Allison was a jumble of contradictions. Mentally unstable and mean as a rattlesnake, he was also a fierce defender of the innocent. A hard drinker but a quiet-spoken man. A hell raiser who was an impromptu preacher. He was as feared for his prowess with pistol and Bowie knife as he was famous for loving whiskey and dancing. Largely forgotten today, his legend once sprawled across the frontier from Cimarron to Mobeetie, where he was known to careen drunkenly through the streets wearing only his gunbelt and his boots. Donna Blake Birchell places one of New Mexico's most fascinating figures back among his more well-chronicled peers.
Download or read book Clay Allison written by Francis Stanley and published by . This book was released on 1956 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most writers are impressed by three things in the life of Clay Allison: That he had a tooth pulling bout with a dentist; that he rode the streets of Canadian(?), Texas, clothed only in a gun belt; and that he went back to Tennessee(?) to marry his childhood sweetheart. Perhaps none of these incidents are hardly capable of exciting the imagination of the intelligent reader, but they do tend to set up a curiosity about this famous Western character. Eleven years of research and thirty thousand miles of travel are the propos on which the author built this story. It is not surprising that he should come up with a human being who is surprisingly capable of feats more commendable than those other Western legendary characters hit upon by most writers of Western folklore. Exciting tales of gun slingers are not always true tales. Here we find have both combined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Truth About Wyatt Earp is the result of extensive research done by the author, Richard E. Erwin. After retiring from his career as a Criminal Defense Lawyer, he took up the task of ferreting out the truth surrounding the life and times of Wyatt Earp. He presents here solid evidence, based on old newspaper accounts, public records, documents buried in museums, state and national archives and libraries and reports of other researchers, to substantiate his view of what he believes to be The Truth About Wyatt Earp. Did you know... That Wyatt Earp was once indicted for horse stealing (He was never convicted.)? That there were four witnesses who could have testified that Tom McLaury was armed at the commencement of the O.K. Corral fight? That both Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday spent more than two weeks in jail in the custody of John Behan while the hearing on the O.K. Corral shoot-out was going on? The truth comes out in this illuminating essay on one of the most fascinating characters in history.

Download or read book Bat Masterson written by Robert K. DeArment and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colorful figures of the western American frontier, the Indian fighters, the mountain men, the outlaws, and the lawmen, have been romanticized for more than a hundred years by writers who found it easier to invent history than the research it. "Bat" Masterson was one such character who cast a long shadow across the pages of western history as it has been routinely depicted. "A legend in his own time," he was called in a television series produced in the 1960's. A legend he has become—one firmly fixed in the popular imagination. But in his own time W.B. Masterson was a man, a less-than-perfect creature subject to the same temptations and vices as his fellows, albeit one who, through circumstance and inclination, led an exciting life in an exciting time and place. As buffalo hunter, army scout, peace officer, professional gambler, sportsman, promoter, and newspaperman, Masterson's career was stormy and eventful. Surprising to many readers will be the account of Masterson's career after his peace officer days, during his employment as a sports writer and columnist. The gun-toting western peace officer reputed to have killed more men than Billy the Kid (not so, says DeArment) spent his last years happily in New York City, writing for a nationally known newspaper. This book, the product of more than twenty years of research, separates fact from fiction to extricate the story of his life from the legend that has enmeshed it. It is the most complete biography of Bat Masterson ever written.
