The authors attempt to explain causes and circumstances are built on a misunderstanding of the historical sequence of events. For instance nearly all of this lawlessness happened in about a a two year period between late 1887 and mid 1889. Nothing much happened until people arrived on the open cattle ranges and to settle. Until people began arriving in western Kansas, there was no settlement other than buffalo hunters and some early cattle men. Many of the real facts have now been researched and much of the tall tales of early writers corrected. Most of this story is baloney repeated from other writers.

He and his wife lived in a dug out south of Gate and had three children. I have always been interested in the history of Gate and Lavern Oklahoma, and the people that lived there, seeing as my family originated from that area.
