I Will Survive

[edit]

The rumors of Butch & Sundance surviving led a body alleged to be Butch being dug up & DNA tests being done. It wasn't him. Trekphiler 19:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Source of the name Wild Bunch

[edit]

Anecdotally, Bill Doolin coined the name Wild Bunch after Bob Dalton told him following the Adair shoot-up that he (Doolin), Newcomb, and Pierce were "too wild" to ride with the Daltons. A source that cites a reliable witness is needed if the story is to be added to the article. Any help? HombreX 03:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Error?

"Only one would survive into the 20th century. All eleven would meet with a violent death in gunbattles with lawmen" --W0manp0et (talk) 11:53, 31 December 2012 (UTC)--W0manp0et (talk) 11:53, 31 December 2012 (UTC) And yet the list at the end shows two members surviving until the 20th century:[reply]

  1. Little Bill Raidler — shot and captured September 6, 1895, by Deputy U.S. Marshal Bill Tilghman; paroled in 1903 because of complication from wounds received when he was captured; died 1904.
  2. Arkansas Tom Jones — captured September 1, 1893, in Ingalls, Oklahoma Territory; pardoned in 1910; killed August 16, 1924, in Joplin, Missouri, by Joplin police detectives. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.142.36.76 (talk) 19:32, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a heads-up. The base article on 'The Wild Bunch' lists this gang member as Dan "Dynamite Dick" Clifton. When you follow that link it leads to this page, where the outlaw is referred to as Dan Clifton (1865-1896?), known as Dynamite Dan. Is this an error, or was Clifton called Dynamite Dick and Dynamite Dan? W0manp0et (talk) 11:53, 31 December 2012 (UTC)w0manp0et[reply]

Comments

[edit]

1. "On May 21, 1894, the jurors in Arkansas Tom's trial found him only guilty of manslaughter".

"Arkansas Tom's" is rather confusing. It should be replaced by "Roy Daugherty's trial" if that is the actual meaning. Mixing name and nickname is not a good idea.

2. "They were driven off with less than $20.00 in merchandise".

I think writing "$20" is sufficient.
