Grave Of Emmett Dalton: Old West Outlaw, Writer and Hollywood Actor

Emmett Dalton was an American outlaw, train robber, writer, actor and member of the Dalton gang during the American Old West. The Dalton gang made a fateful attempt to rob two banks at one time in Coffeyville, Kansas on October 5, 1892. Emmett was the only surviving member of the gangs ill fated robbery. This is his story.

The first "new" marker you read...Eva Mae Dalton Whipple was married to John Whipple. John was a pharmacist in Mead, Kansas. They lived in a very small home built near the banks of a small creek on the edge of town. The barn for the house was down on flat ground by the creek. Eva's outlaw brothers and associates could approach the barn under cover, stable their horses, then enter the house via a tunnel. The site is now a museum. The tunnel, initially just a small, rough, precarious affair, was enlarged and made safe for the visiting public. It is a novel experience to be in the barn (now the visitor center and museum), enter the tunnel, and come out of a closet in the basement of the house. Well worth a trip to Mead, Kansas. I was particularly impressed with one of the museum exhibits...a horse-hair halter hand-made by Emmett Dalton while he was in prison. A final note... word of advice... don't order the chicken-fried steak at the truck stop cafe out on the highway near Mead.

I do want to visit that little hideout you mentioned. I knew of it but not about the details you shared. Pretty interesting to know about something being there from Emmett. Thank you for watching and sharing some more information and tips!

[@joejones9520]

I just found some vids that show the walk thru the tunnel and museum and house. Really cool, the tunnel was reinforced with stone way back in 1940 by the WPA, Id never heard of that historical site though, thanks!

[@jamesferris4573]

It seems Emmett Dalton had quite an interesting life. He was very fortunate he wasn't killed in Coffeyville like his brothers. Emmett sowed his wild oats and spent his time in prison before he was married. Once married Emmett made a living by writing tales of his outlaw days, working as a lawman and being a specialist on wild west movies. This would seem like a lifetime for most people but then Emmett and his wife moved to California and both worked as building contractors. Emmit certainly lived a colorful life and wore many hats. I like your helper you had on this tour. My wife and I raised two daughters of our own and they each have three boys. Thank you for the information about Emmett. It was very interesting that he worked as a lawman. My great grandfather wrote that many men would hop back and forth over the line. Many men did whatever they had to do to survive regardless if it was legal or not. They certainly wouldn't hire an outlaw ex-con as a lawman today.

[@RhettyforHistory]

You're right about that. In this time period there wasn't really an established law like there is now. It's interesting to see how it was built at the same time it could be really reckless being like that. Even the famed lawman Wyatt Earp got in trouble in Oklahoma stealing horses. Thank you for watching James!

Emmett Daltons life is the stuff of legend. He survived about 24Gunshot wounds, every single one deadly per se. He was a relic of another era when He died in the late 30s or esrly 40s. He tried to do good the second after that tragic gunfight was over. He is one of the most underrated characters in American History.

[@RhettyforHistory]

It really is unbelievable that he survived. The town sure thought he was a gunner! Thank you got watching Markus!

I didn't know he was in any films, I just watched Man of the desert in which he played the good guy. Hard to imagine all that he went through, all the changes in his life. I noticed it looked like he had a little trouble walking but had no problems on the horse. Imagine being shot over 20 times then having to do 14 years in prison. That is adding insult to injury. Great video thanks for uploading it for us.

I'm sure he probably did have some issues for the rest of his life from those wounds but I never have seen anything talking about it. I can't imagine being shot that many times and being able to walk much less survive. Thank you for watching Dan!

They found the mass grave of the victims and they put up a memorial with the names etc. You might have already known about these but just like to support channels I love to watch!

My grandfather George W Dalton second cousin to Emmett had 2 children, my mother Mary and Verlin.

Sure Bob Dalton had his reasons for turning outlaw, but its always for the wrong reasons, maybe easy money.

@@RhettyforHistory I am really tuned in. The father of Belle Starts daughter Pearl was prolly Cole Younger. Belle real last name was Shirley, a native American name. Her birth name was Myra Maybelle Shirley. I have cousins related to her. I am related to James. The Dalton's, youngers and James are a real related mixing pot. Belle Starr had them at her Texas home when they were laying Low. Take care.

[@RhettyforHistory]

I didn't realize Shirley was Native American. I thought it was English. As far as I knew she was white but of course marries Sam Starr as her husband after Jim Reed was killed who was her previous husband. Same was Cherokee. After Sam was killed she married his adoptive brother Jim July. There is a long standing rumor on whether or not Pearl was Cole's daughter. I'm not sure we will ever know for sure. Belle has many things about her that blur between fact and fiction. Probably more so than any other figure in the old west

You're right about that. Bill was shot and killed here in Oklahoma but his wife transported his remains and had him buried in there cemetery. He is or at least was in an unmarked grave.

I had watched a documentary about the Dalton gang a few years back. I knew that Emmett done some acting but I didn't know how much. I always wondered if there older brother getting killed was what caused them to go over to the wrong side of the law.

[@RhettyforHistory]

It did somewhat. They sort of worked for their brother helping him about a little. When he died they thought they could remain on the job. They were doing the job but not getting paid and that made them mad. Their brother Frank who was killed was not sent his back pay either since he was dead. They were not going to be paid and were not allowed to stay on the job so that left them with doing some shady things. Thank you for watching!

I do know that Bill Tilghman made his film because he saw how Emmett was going around telling his story and he was afraid of the way Hollywood was portraying how it was. Bill had trouble getting his movie to be played in theaters. They told him it needed someone well known as an actor such as Tom Mix. Bill refused to do that. Tom Mix really seemed to be interested in these old legends.
