That was pretty funny. I think Arkansas Tom is buried in Joplin. Not sure where Tilghman is buried. There's a kind of memorial sign in Cromwell that I saw when I drove through there one time, just so I could see what Cromwell looked like. My great grandfather did quite a bit of time in that Guthrie jail for bootlegging. I was told they liked it when he was there because he was an excellent cook. I'm told the entire family cemetery plot (a big long row at old cemetery at hwy 74 & 51 crossroads) was paid for with moonshine.

If you like the Old West then I have quite a bit for you to watch. You're right about Arkansas Tom being in Joplin. Tilghman is in Chandler Cemetery. I have done a video on him but it was early on in my channel so I will be revisiting at some point to do something more on him. The sign they have for him in Cromwell is pretty neat and really all that is out there for him. It was a whole corrupt deal the way he went out. It has been said his friends went out there and burned the town down after things didn't go well with the prosecution. Nothing remains of when Bill was there.

There's over 6000 wrecks at the bottom of the Great Lakes but how many are known all around the world? I learned so much from that song that it made me want to research every possible detail about the whole tragedy from beginning to end, so here's one Aussie who knows more about 'The Big Fitz' than some Canadians probably do. I've been a music teacher and performer for my whole working life, but history and English were my other subjects - I think it's impossible to separate one from the others because they're so wonderfully connected.

At one time it was a small plantation. We dismantled part of the main house which was made from heart pine perhaps in the 1850's. These boards were in such good quality even 5 years ago, that he used them to reconstruct a smaller house on the property. The wood looks just about like what those buildings look like.

My gosh, how the countryside has changed due to our ability to change landscapes. I will say that the South East was as wild as the Wild West. For instance, Rube Burrows and his gang made enough news across America, that the Salt Lake City newspaper carried the story of Rube's partner committing suicide in the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Jackson about 15 years after their most famous train robbery in which a gunfight ensued. I own the pistol that the train conductor dropped on the tracks. My great grandfather had been in the posse that went to the scene of the robbery, and he picked the pistol up. You have to be brave to research such a story because I found out my great grandfather had been in the saloon where the Sheriff raised the posse at 2 in the morning of December 26, 1880, rather than at home with his widowed mother.

No it's a town that used to be around and is no longer. Lawson became Quay, Oklahoma and there isn't much there. There are a lot of people that think that's a typo but it's just forgotten.

My dad took me to Ingalls in 1976, right after I got back from W. Germany and the army. Told me the story of the outlaw gang. Seems we have family that lived in that area for a while before they moved up to the Jennings area. Dad was looking for a tombstone there that was supposedly a relative. I do have a great uncle who was a sheriff in Payne County where Ingalls is located.

I do want to go back there. I feel there is so much more there to film. I bet there are some really old graves there. New Mexico has some really good cemeteries there. Many of them feel like they came off of an old west movie set. I'm not sure when I will make it out that way again but I sure plan on it!

Doolin promise Bill Tilghman that he would not escape if Bill would promise not to take him from Eureka Springs into Southwest City, MO on their way back to Oklahoma where during a robbery Bill had shot brothers - one dying the following day, the other lived in so much pain he would die in the sanitarium 10 years later. The bullet passed thru both men and Bill knew that the citizens of Southwest City would lynch him for the crime. Doolin was in Eureka Springs for the healing power of the waters over his injured foot.

. Do you have the book 'Ghost Towns of Oklahoma ' by John W. Morris? You will learn so much. From the way the Ingalls history reads these are the last buildings left. I love to read about history but Oklahoma history is fascinating to me .
@RhettyforHistory5 жыл бұрын
I do have that book and it does say that. The cement foundations made me wonder about them actually being original. But they could have been built when others were around? That's the part I'm unsure on. That is a fantastic book though. Mr. Morris has passed but there are certainly things that could he updated in that book now. We are fortunate in that there is a lot of history in this state. Much of it has been forgotten though. Thanks for watching!
@juneholbrook94525 жыл бұрын
The book said that residents tried to make Ingalls a tourist destination so could they have built the buildings then? Using older wood and old windows would have made them look old instantly. There is a book that was used in a course at OU that gives lots of info that you might find interesting. It is 'Stories of Old-Time Oklahoma' by David Dary. Lots of info on Oklahoma history up to famous people from Indian Territory to the 1950s. If you don't have it is a good one to get. Yes, I have more than my share of books on Oklahoma. Sorry if I am boring you but what can I say?

This was very interesting. However, you should look up US Marshal Rufus Cannon. He was my great-great-grandfather who was part of the posse that killed Bill Doolin. The newspapers printed that my grandfather issued the fatal shot that killed Doolin, but it was later retracted and credit was given to Thomas. This may have been because he was a black US Marshal in the 1890s. Good content. Just thought you might want to know.
