YadonCharleston, South Carolina :The History Press,2016.1 online resource (122 pages) illustrations1-4671-3519-4 Includes bibliographical references (pages 113-117) and index."Early Oklahoma was a haven for violent outlaws and a death trap for deputy U.S. marshals. The infamous Doolin gang's OK Hotel gunfight left five dead. Killers like Bible-quoting choir leader Deacon Jim Miller wreaked havoc. Gunslinger femme fatale Belle Starr specialized in horse theft. Wannabe outlaws like Al Jennings traded train robbing for politics and Hollywood films. And Elmer McCurdy's determination and inept skill earned him a carnival slot and the nickname "the Bandit Who Wouldn't Give Up." Historians Robert Barr Smith and Laurence J. Yadon dispel myths surrounding some of the most significant lawbreakers in Sooner history."--Page 4 of cover.CriminalsOklahomaHistoryCrimeOklahomaHistoryOklahomaHistoryCriminalsHistory.CrimeHistory.364.1552Smith Robert B(Robert Barr),1933-2017,1209912Yadon Laurence J.1948-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910157376303321Oklahoma scoundrels3406837UNINA
