Real Stories of Crime and Punishment in Oklahoma
"Train robbers, bank robbers, and other gun-toting outlaw gangs are a part of the heritage of Oklahoma. Also part of that heritage are the brave lawmen who pursued those outlaws. The daring exploits of men on both sides of the law often were the subject of sensational news stories. But the grim reality is that law and order in the early days of Oklahoma was a deadly business, and shootouts between outlaws and lawmen were common" Author and OklahombreS Past President Dee Cordry
"No state other than Oklahoma has produced more outlaws, bank and train robberies and shootouts than Oklahoma. Oklahoma has certainly had an abundance of deadly encounters between the bandits and the forces of law and order" Author and Oklahombres Member, Rick Mattix.
