Date of Emmett birth (1871) is inconsistent with Emmett Dalton artilce (1866). There is also: On February 6, 1891, after Bob Dalton had joined his brothers in California... - shouldn't it be Grat, to be consistent with previous part of article? Pibwl ←« 21:03, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Shirttail relative
Sorry, I don't know the meaning of the term, and my edition of the COD doesn't recognise it.

Several points of this article are not correct. A number of books exist from around the time of the Dalton Gang, a few years after. I NEVER read about the California stuff. The folklore of the time had them mainly in Oklahoma, Missourri and Kansas.
Bill Powers still has relatives in Coffeyville, and there accounts are not the same either.
I suggest that anyone wanting to research The Dalton Gang check out The Dalton Museum In Coffeyville, Ks. It is true that the citizens of Coffeyville milked the event for all they could, the museum holds many, many relics from this, "The Last Great Gunfight of the Wild West."
It is true that Bob Dalton wanted to out do Jesse James. It is probably true that the gang tried to hide their identities when they rode into Coffeyville, but they did not have fake beards as this report claims. (These items WOULD BE in the museum if they were real!!!)
Please check out the Dalton Museum in Coffeyville for more reliable information. Lew Bell69.247.160.229 23:49, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
