October 5, 1892—the bank robbery where the Dalton Gang died.

A site in Coffeyville, Kansas, Dalton raid site is filed here for what the record attaches to it. October 5, 1892—the bank robbery where the Dalton Gang died. The file’s recurring figure goes by a name, not a description: the dalton gang. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. The site is open to visitors.

Coffeyville is the stopped — the '92 raid that killed the gang, the two banks that were simultaneous. The teller was the liar — the time lock that didn't exist, the 10 minutes that armed the town. The alley was the death — the horses that were tied wrong, the 12 minutes that were the fight.
The citizens were the defenders — the Isham Hardware that armed them, the 4 who died with the 4. The Emmet was the survivor — the youngest who was shot 23 times, the '31 pardon that freed him. Coffeyville is the town — the Dalton end that it made, the Death Alley that's the name.
The file keeps Coffeyville: the 1892 raid, the 10-minute lie, the 12-minute fight, and the 8 dead.
Coffeyville is the archive's Kansas file — the town that stopped them.
