EVERY TIME I READ ABOUT THE DALTON GANG I HEAR A DIFFERENT STORY. BEING RELATED TO JOHN J. KLOEHR , IT IS IN THE FAMILY HISTORY. I JUST WISH SOAMEONE WOULD GET IT RIGHT.

Regarding the raid on Coffeyville, like any brief, chaotic event with many witnesses, things were somewhat muddled from the start. David Stewart Elliott’s version is a good place to start as it is as contemporary an account of the raid as we can get. It’s been re-published and is easy to come by. I don’t think there is much doubt that John Kloehr killed at least one of the outlaws. Stewart says he killed both Grat and Bob. Of course, there were a lot of bullets flying in that alley and other people had differing perspectives. If you have a story passed down in your family about Mr. Kloehr, I’m sure people would love to hear it.
