"The Day Coffeyville Bled" begins at the end of the Dalton/Johnson Gang as they are shot to pieces and lie dying in gutters, alleys, and empty fields after spending thirteen minutes longer on this earth than necessary. From the morning of Wednesday, October 5, 1892, through to as late as the year 2001, immediate family members of this gang survived and buried their secrets, but not as well as they would have hoped. Five marriages, three murders, two illegitimate children, real estate companies, motion pictures, and newspaper, magazine, and book publications all became part of what legends are made of as the Dalton/Johnson outlaw gang rode out of the nineteenth century straight into the twentieth century, while two of their number escape apprehension.

About the Author
A Texas native, Mark S. Pannill has a working background in both print and broadcast media. He has spent several years in radio as an announcer and has produced several print publications including a weekly newspaper, historical pamphlets, and an award-winning weekly newspaper column. Mark's interest in the Dalton/Johnson outlaw gang began in earnest in 1977 during his early college years. At that time he was employed as a gunfighter in a theme park in Oklahoma. Although he is not related to either of these outlaw factions, he discovered an undying desire to uncover the other side of their romantic imagery. The result of years of interviews and extended research has culminated in this story about "The Day Coffeyville Bled".

This review is from: The Day Coffeyville Bled: The Dalton / Johnson Gang (Paperback)
The book is pretty good in that it provides a ton of detail about the post-raid lives of some fo the characters involved in the raid and the defense by the town. I was hoping for far greater analysis of the raid and more detail of what took place. Instead, there is a lot of detail on the possibility of a Dalton raider who escaped and that it might be a woman. The author fixes on this and devotes most of the book to trying to determine if the theory has merit and who might be the gal. All in all it was kind of interesting. But I wish that the raid itself would have had more attention by the author.
