- Howdy Flying R,
Glad you like the topic and content. I know of no single book that deals with this subject. Many of the older books dealing with Ringo tended to repeat tall tales and were thin on facts. I have not read the recently republished book about Ringo that ChipProf mentioned, John Ringo, King of the Cowboys - His Life and Times from the Hoo Doo War to Tombstone, by David Johnson. I repeat, I have not read this book. Continue to stop back since we will no doubt be adding more information here.

Sixgun said… - Hey Bob,
Spoke with Carl about your poker table didnt have anything in his bunch right now but he is going to a big auction later this month. I told him he could contact you here on tw. Also you might be interested in taking a look at Dan (dave) Tucker a Silver City lawman who has been overlooked historicly. It wouldnt take much scripting to come up with a movie.His whole life was a movie.

- Hey Sixgun,
That's for checking on the table for me and the mention of Tucker. I'll check and see what I find on him. I have been traveling over the last 5 days and would have responded sooner but was without computer access.

- Flying R, I did look over the site last night and it looks like it's going to be one fine auction. I like the fact they list the price range and current bid. Doesn't seem to be any shortage of buyers.
Again, thanks for the link.

Phillip Gessert said… - Hello Bob,
Did you read Bob Boze Bells blog about the possibility of John Travolta and Tom Cruise teaming up to do a remake of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Remember my script Faro.... I would love Cruise to be Luke and Travolta would make a fine Bill Harris or Bat Masterson... What do you think. What a shame if they are to do a western to remake one that could never be as good as the original.

Should I cover them in felt to look more correct? Bein your the gamblin furniture guru here.
