Doolin and the Oklahombres Bank Robbery Legend
Texas Guardsman Bill Doolin rode with the Oklahombres after a Longview bank job in May 1894, then rose as a famed Oklahoma outlaw. The story traces his rise from cowboy to gang leader, infamous Coffeyville near-miss, and his 1896 death at the hands of Marshal Heck Thomas after a jail breakout and pursuit across the Oklahoma Territory.
