Jack McCalls death

I have checked a number of different sources and have found they all agree that Jack McCall was convicted to hang on December 6th, 1876 in Yankton, and was in fact hanged on March 1, 1877. What are your sources that claim otherwise?

Brother?

The beginning of the article claims Jack McCall had one older brother - the end claims he had none. Which is correct? 93.96.201.111 (talk) 21:26, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

He had three sisters (one of which is my Grandmother) and no brother. The confusion comes because their stepmother put them in an orphan home. When the yankees were coming burning everything the people took the children out. (Grandma says they burned the orphan House) I believe (can not prove) Julius aka Jack Mccall was taken by a family named Strawhan. Wild Bill Hickock killed a Jack Strawhan and I believe (cannot prove) that this was the brother which Jack said was his brother that Wild Bill killed.

Grandma and two unrelated sisters were taken by the a family named Powell. The three concidered themself sisters as long as the lived. Hope that helps.

Wikipedia has the wrong McCall. If anyone wants it I can supply full information on The right McCall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.242.30.99 (talk) 21:53, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Rollback of Dec 10, 2012

I rolled back the article today because the last several days' worth of edits made a mess of it and I couldn't easily pick out anything sourced that was trustworthy enough to stay. Please feel free to add back any cited information you have, as un-sourced materials will be reverted. GenQuest ^{"Talk to Me"} 05:05, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Legacy

The article says that the event takes place every evening in summer, except Mondays. The website links says Sundays are exempt though. Which one is correct? Mrobviousjosh (talk) 13:26, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
