    1. [MOPOLK] Dalton gang
    2. Elvin Pettet
    3. Greeting List, In my previous post about the Dalton Gang, I failed to list the source of my information, and I just received an email, asking for that source. I apoligize for not giving it before. At the risk of boring you, I will add this bit of trivia. Emmett Dalton was the lone surviver of the Coffeyville, Kansas bank robbery, and was sent to the Kansas State Pen. He served 14 years, and received a full pardon from the Kansas governor in 1907, after which he moved to California. He is listed in the census while living in Los Angeles, as a "producer of motion pictures", and later wrote a book about the Dalton Gang, called "When The Daltons Rode". I have just finished reading this interesting book, and this was the source of my information. After Emmett's death in California in 1937, the book was made in to a movie starring Broderick Crawford, Randolph Scott, Brian Donlevy, and Andy Devine. You now probably know more now, than you wanted to know about the subject! Elvin

    2. Elvin Pettet
    3. > Can anyone on the list tell me if there were any members of the > "infamous" Dalton gang from Polk County? If so, who were they? Mary in Alaska Mary, I have seen no reply to your message posted, so will try to answer. I have seen nothing to indicate that any of the Dalton Gang came from Polk County. That's not to say that it couldn't be true, because they ran with so many outlaws from unknown places. At least five of the gang were Dalton family members, including Gratton, Bob, Emmett, Jack, and Bill. Their father Lewis, and their mother were married in Kansas City, Missouri, but they soon moved near Coffeyville, Kansas, close to Indian Territory, now Oklahoma. Their older brother, Frank was a US Marshal, and was killed in 1887 during a gun battle. Several of the brothers were Deputy Marshals, and worked on the side of the law also. By 1890, they had all turned to the other side, and were robbing trains, and banks frequently. Their crime spree would last for almost three years, until October of 1892, when four members of the gang were killed while trying to rob two banks at once, in Coffeyville. Emmett was the lone survivor that day, and was sentenced to life in prison. He was later pardoned by the governor, and lived the rest of his life in California. He did return to erect stones on his brother's graves. Although their first robbery was a train In California, they quickly returned to the Coffeyville area, and most of their robberies were within 100 miles of there. They did rob at least one bank in Missouri, at Southwest City, near the Oklahoma line. Some other associates of their gang were; George Newcomb who was born in Ft. Scott, KS Charlie Bryant from Texas,called "Blackface Bryant" because of a powder burn on his face. Bill Power from Texas Dick Broadwell from Hutchinson, KS Charlie Pierce from Jackson County, Missouri If any one from the PCGS has other information about a Polk County connection, I will stand corrected. I hope this answers your question. Elvin
