Dalton Gang Coffeyville Kansas Raid

[@mobiltec]

Thanks for the tour!

[@stephenpettegrew8105]

I was born and raised on E 11th street in Coffeyville, and proud of it ,born in free America, I go back when I can and love the town and the people in the state. Been to the Dalton museum more times than can be counted

[@jamesh918]

hello my name is james and im a worker at the dalton defenders museum. i just wanted to say you did a fantastic job on telling the story

[@elcruz79]

Congratulations for the video! I am Brazilian and unfortunately there is no material available in my country about the Dalton brothers. I heard about the case of the Dalton's Brothers through the song called "Doolin Dalton" and I was researching more about in the Internet. Anyway, congratulations again!

[@robertbunnell5932]

Emmett Dalton actually became a successful real estate agent in Hollywood California. He also helped movie makers with some of the earlier western movies.

[@mikesaunders4775]

The Coffeyville raid is right up there with the Gunfight at the OK Corral,Northfield Minnesota,and the Little Big Horn as far as western lore goes. Its good to see so many of the sights there still visible.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

There have been several folks that have commented on this video that were kin folk to the Daltons, That would make you all cousins, you should connect. Thanks for watching.

[@williammclaughlin811]

Thankyou. Like the way you narrated the story.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Thank you.

[@harley181981]

Great video Time traveler thanks for post it love it

[@lyricallysikh1]

That's really cool to hear about the stories of the old west. I sometimes wish i could go back in time and live in it.

[@hikesformentalheath9891]

On my mothers side, I am related to one of the dalton brothers. I can’t remember witch one, but my grandmother loves to talk about it.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@tdpdavis Your very welcome, I hope you get the chance to visit Coffeyville, it has one of the best museums of all the old west , they have the guns, saddles, and many other articals belonging to the Dalton gang,, Its a well preserved site,, and the town itself is a nice place, Thanks for watching tdpdavis

[@MrChristianbowman82]

Really cool I’m working in Coffeeville now and will have to check it out

[@clintsequipment]

I’ve written a song about this 😊. Very good video! Thank you

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Powermanbetting]

very nice video , only wished it was longer , will visit coffeville next summer .....best regards from Sweden

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Thank you Patrictheking, I hope you make it there, It's a nice town, with interesting history.

[@mbilbygames7390]

1800TimeTraveler yup it is I was raised there

[@larrym.6152]

I was born in Coffeyville. It used to be a fun and thriving industrious City compared to the near ghost town of today.

[@eldtaylo]

My family on my mothers side resides from the Tulsa, OK., and Coffeyville, KS., area. I have heard countless stories from Uncles, Aunts, Grandparents, etc., about the Dalton gang and how some of our family was involved in the shootout at the banks. Visited the old museum and the grave site many times. The grave was unmarked for many years until it started becoming a tourist attraction and the city decided to place a grave marker there . I can remember visiting the grave when I was a kid before the marker was placed. My grandfather worked for the railroad for more than 30 years and lived in Coffeyville. In fact, my grandparents lived on Walnut street just a few blocks up from where the banks were located. I have some of the bricks with the Coffeyville stamp on them. Most of my family has either died or moved away from the area so I haven't visited Coffeyville in many years. It looks like they have updated some of the attractions so I'll have to plan a visit soon with my family. Thanks for the memories.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@leegray99 Im glad to be the one that first showed it to you.. Of course there are buildings that were not there at the time, but it does give one an idea of the location layout,, Thanks for watching.

[@heru-deshet359]

Great video.

[@alphonsozorro7952]

Emmett Dalton was shot out of the saddle, after ignoring a chance to escape and riding back to get his mortally wounded brother Bob.

[@leegray99]

Great video thanks, first time I seen down that alley in live footage

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@TrumpetMAB Thank you, I was not sure. I visit many locations and very often when recreating the structures of the past , especially in a populated area. the location of the recreation is dictated by the existing modern buildings. Thanks for the clarification TumpetMAB.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@CherokeeCharli Thanks, visting the actual sites gives a new perspective on the events, And there always seems to be more locations I want to see, and re-live is a good description, because when you walk on the same ground, you can sence the spirits of those that experianced the event. Thanks for watching Charli,

[@kristenstrom3566]

Interesting....I liked it

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Thank You

[@greatriffishere]

I'm related to the Dalton Gang so it was interesting to see where some of my famous relatives met their demise!

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Thanks nastaciacanada. when it came time to make the video, how many years Emmett served left my mind. lol I find it amazing how many men convicted of serious crimes back then recieved pardons or early releases from prison, the list is long, Thanks again.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@NoticableBlues Thats fascinating, Its great your family kept the fact about your Great Grampa down to you.. Alot of Family history fails to be passed on.. and your right the Museum is one of the best ib regards to artifacts.

[@warrendelay]

Good video!! Thanks

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Thank you Elcruz, I hope your research is successful, you might want to check out a few of the old west discussion boards here on the net, they are a wealth of information on the old west.

[@aaronlechliter4084]

My grandma lived there for years I have been to that ally many many many many times it's a very very eerie place

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@whoyah11384 It seems this video has connected the family line . Thanks for watching.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@mobiltec you bet, Thanks for watching, I always enjoy your vids on mobil rehab,, Its actually got me looking at old pull behinds in a total new light,,,

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@bigreddawg91 You are related to the Daltons? that is definatly an interesting family connection,, Thanks for watching.

[@rubenrodriguez9361]

Just visited coffeyville ks this past weekend death alley is an eerie place .loved the musuem

[@1880TimeTraveler]

If you are referring to the old replica jail in the alley, It was locked up tight as a drum, and I don't recall seeing any Sculpture at or near it. Sorry.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@1954shadow That would be an interesting research,, Have you followed up on the connection?

[@nathandingy]

I remember my grandmother and my mother both taking ancestotry tests and found out we were related to the dalton gang i forget which one but its cool to learn a bit about them

[@the1spen]

I’m related to these fellas. My grandfather was named George Dalton Thomas. I’d like to look further into that.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Thank you Stone469, Yea I reckon Sunday wasn't the best day to visit. But hey, Thats a good reason to return.

[@brandt8051]

My great grand mother was agnus dalton.they were done the line first cousins to me.pretty cool

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@BigMrJuarez I think your right it does look like a good community to raise a family in,, and they have an impressive down town, and a good night life for those that like to go out on weekends,

[@SEKansas1969]

Lou Barndollar, a former English instructor at Coffeyville Community College, wrote a book titled, "What Really Happened on October 5, 1892 : An Attempt at an Accurate Account." It can be found on Amzon but seems to be rather pricy since it may be out of print with a copyright of 1992. It is probably the most definitive book on the true facts related to the raid on the two banks. The book was written for the 100th anniversary of the bank robbery.

[@starrfisher]

did you check out the old jail?

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Where is it located?

[@starrfisher]

at the start of the alley when you walk off the street where the band with bullet holes in it. it should say old jail. if you need more help go to the museum and they can also help. once you find it you can insert a quarter and listen to the story while a light lights up the inside with four dummies laying inside. its cool

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Starr fisher, yes I thought maybe you were talking about the jail thing in the alley, but was wasn't sure, yes we saw it, but I guess I somehow missed the coin slot part. or I have forgotten about it. has the coin slot been there long? I think we just looked in the window,, well I reckon that's a good reason to go back,, We have been wanting to anyway, And after we were there I picked up a copy of Emmett Dalton's book, "When the Daltons Rode" And I must say, although his writing style was a bit, you might say grandiose, His description of being on the losing end of the battle was worth the price of the book.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Starr fisher, I reviewed my video at the 3;14 mark I see what looks like a red box type thing on the wall, is THAT the coin box?

[@starrfisher]

you come right in front of the city jail witch is the old jail at the 3:10 mark of your video. go on that platform yes that red box will take quarters and tell the story of that day.

[@NoticableBlues]

My Great Grandfather was the town doctor at the time of the raid he was the one who said they are dead. The buildings are still in the same spots. In the alley the town use to have marks of actual bullet holes left but now they have been painted over (sad really) In the muesum you can see the gun picked up by my great grandfather off the street that one of the boys dropped.

[@rayjames6096]

The text book example of F-ing around and finding out.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@orangecrate100 Thanks Charles,, yes it is a clean town,, good observation..

[@xoJudiciousLashay]

I live here, in coffeyville. We went on a field trip here. It was actually pretty amazing. We saw bloodstains thats been there ever since.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@jamesh918 Thank you, I do wish I would have been more specific as to the identities of each outlaw and their respective routes, And The I dentities of the Defenders, But I did try to lay out the overall chain of events,, Your Kind comment is very appreciated because of your intimate knowledge of the events, Also I would like to say that The defenders museum is one of the best museums Iv ever visited, and I have visited many, your displays and artifacts are excellent, Thank you James.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@MLX97 It must be cool to Know that. Your Uncles should have had a better plan. Ha! thanks for watching.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@whoyah11384 Your Great Grandmother is a wealth of information. may I suggest you sit down with a video cam and have her tell of her early days, So many of us fail to do that, and therefore lose much family history. Thanks again .

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@hillbillyJOHNNY1 I agree, if a person claims to be related to someone of the past, they should be able to show the line of linage. I would love to see the photos you mentioned, Can you post them on your channel ? original unseen photos of the Dalton brothers would be very valuable. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@wthjrtx1]

I think its great how you comment 'The citizens were called to arms".Haha..Another way to say it is the Dalton boys were coming to get the towns money and the citizens opened up the gates of hell on them.,,Nice video and great day to shoot it..Glad I came across your channel.

[@reutere]

It is at least partly the original alley. I was there. Saw the bullet holes in the bricks.

[@Slikkomen]

@BigMrJuarez I like it also,,Coffeyville has a real nice downtown walk.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

I wasn't aware there was a sculpture in the jail, We were there on a Sunday, so that might explain why we didn't see it. all that was open was the Defenders museum.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

I wish I would have known about the bullet wound in the building while I was there. I'll be sure to look for it next time, Thanks mageisbad !

[@whoyah11384]

[@phillfoote]

long ago i came across a story that claims the robbery was actually filmed - the whole scheme was known beforehand and citizens were prepared - an early film company was in town and filmed some of the action - is this true - has anyone else heard this story

[@whoyah11384]

sorry i was talking to my great grandma that was born feb 10th 1912 and she told me that one of the dolton gang brothers is her grandpa and there my great great great grandpa lol i love the famialty

[@AirWalker23]

@@letemroll7871 100+ years later you're still talking and watching about them though. Wonder if anyone will be talking about you after 5 minutes 🤔

[@jasonruth885]

I think Coffeville should have left the thing s that you tie your hoarse s to up as part of history.

[@starrfisher]

Good civilians protecting their town

[@GHOSTRIDER-sr9eq]

[@zorroalphonso4354]

They should have made plaques for the fallen bandits and the citizens killed by the bandits, as well. Why did only the slain Sherif have a plaque?

[@coreygulick7937]

There are plaques all over... several just outside and to the north on the hardware store to name a few

[@mikematthews8573]

IN OKLAHOMA WE DON'T CALL POLICE🐴

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Well I reckon that depends, if you have to stop them, and the choice is killing them or having the cops haul em off. It's easier to have em hauled off. Just sayin.

[@nastaciacanada]

He served 14 in jail (justsoyaknow)

[@weirdsearchhistory5876]

They got their wish about becoming famous but I doubt they wanted it this badly.

Walk my dog by both banks every day! I live down walnut

[@dancidan]

I am an asshole Dalton ,whoopty doo!

[@zorroalphonso4354]

YOU are what you say, but not the real ones. They were brave outlaws.

[@understandthat9817]

I wouldn't be Gloating about killing those Dalton Boys. Some of them are just stupid enough to do it again. If they was related to the Dalton's on my Mom's side then I wouldn't talk too much trash. Some of them couple Bullets short of a Full Round if you know what I mean?

[@1880TimeTraveler]

Not at all.

[@jackiereynolds2888]

It seems to be in line with the whole American spirit to celebrate the maverick, anti-establishment, the loner, or the one who, despite the system, 'makes it' despite any odds, - especially the social miscreant or, - enemy of the status quo - the gunfighter. Ask anyone and they are far-far more likely to remember some bad-guy than virtually any good one. Why it is though specifically that the 'criminal' is celebrated, revered, hailed and even honored cannot be this comment. But-it-can't-be denied - it is true ! The absolutely gargantuan difference in benefit from a scientist or even a speculator and the average gun-carrying complete loser who left school at ? - bent on 'nothing' but stealing and violence, - contributing zero to anything but self-servicing desires and at-the-same time being virtually nothing to life but destruction and wholesale robbery from the whole of society, - I just wonder if it's just or curiously American only. And just WHY is that ? Perhaps as homogeneity in all things which make a stable , cohesive, and singular-minded people, begins to gradually pine, it's natural to expect change and discord, conflict, and 'every social miscreant'. When the world is disliked the way it is, the 'criminal' challenging the system is championed. I don't know. 'Freedom' is open-water, - away from the march of boots and the regimentation of life. The more distant from the rule and law of a social groundwork beneath our feet, the easier a course and the more remote the memory of limits. It is because freedom is not natural that it comes at such a cost.

[@1880TimeTraveler]

@wthjrtx1 Your right they shot the hell outta em. I reckon it ruined their day .lol.

[@alphonsozorro7952]

Town empty.

[@alphonsozorro7952]

Gangsters, but brave fighters, as well. Even outgunned and outnumbered they fought on.
