On September 1, 1893, three covered wagons carrying 24 lawmen rolled into Ingalls, Oklahoma Territory; a town frequented by Bill Doolin and his gang. The timing was right, in that Doolin, Bill Dalton, "Dynamite Dick" Clifton, "Arkansas Tom" Daugherty, "Bitter Creek" Newcomb, and "Tulsa Jack" Blake were all in-town, at the saloon. The early morning arrival of multiple covered wagons roused suspicion. The officers were discovered before they could all get into position. "Bitter Creek" opened up the gunfire, and so began the deadly battle. Although two of the outlaws were wounded, they escaped; but the battle resulted in the death of 3 lawmen and 2 innocent bystanders, and the wounding of 2 other citizens. As New in dust jacket. Signed by Glenn Shirley on half-title.
