One of Coffeyville's claims to fame is that memorable day in October of 1892 when the Dalton Gang tried to rob both local banks at one time. They lost... and have each succeeding year during the reenactment of the raid each year in October. (The official score is Citizens 105, Daltons 0) The Dalton family history and genealogy (as much as is known) is at Kansas Gunfighters: Daltons.

Also look at the narative on Debbie Walford's Labette County KSGenWeb page...it's written by Janelle Osborne, the great granddaughter of the Doctor that treated Emmett Dalton after the raid....he must have been pretty good, since Emmett lived to an old age. (After he was released from his "unfortunate incarceration", he moved to California!).
