Description

Come join Ranger Cody Faber as we discuss the book Finding the Lost Dalton by Harold Trisler.

This is an important book documenting the location, circumstance, and murder of Deputy U.S. Marshal Frank Dalton. Dalton was one of the brave federal lawmen of the Fort Smith, Arkansas, federal court who worked for Federal Judge Isaac C. Parker. Dalton had brothers who worked with him as a posse and after his death became legendary outlaws. Well-researched by Trisler, this book will add to the knowledge of Frank Dalton's career and last days as a federal lawman in the Indian Territory. It is an important addition to the books on deputy U.S. marshals on the western frontier.

If you'd like to purchase the book and follow along, feel free to. Or you can join us and simply enjoy the program as it is free to the public. The author, Harold Trisler, will be there to answer your questions and join in the discussion.
