Book excerpt: Outlaw Kingdom Matt Braun In 1889, Bill Tilghman joined the historic land rush that transformed a raw frontier into Oklahoma Territory. A lawman by trade, he set aside his badge to make his fortune in the boomtowns. Yet Tilghman was called into service once more, on a bold, relentless manhunt that would make his name a legend for all time--in an epic confrontation with outlaw gang leader Bill Doolin.
He was steely eyed, hard riding and straight shooting; a soft-spoken, tee-totaling lawman who never drew his gun...unless he meant to use it. Among other things he was also a buffalo hunter, Indian fighter, rancher horse breeder, saloon keeper, politician...even a movie maker. His name was Bill Tilghman and of all the heroes of the Old West he was one of the last, one of the most heroic, and a legend in his own time. Tilghman is about his life and the woman who memorialized his adventures. Tilghman began his career in Dodge City in 1878 when his friend Bat Masterson, newly elected sheriff, made him under sheriff. Still going strong in 1924, the 70-year-old Tilghman was called out of retirement to help rid Cromwell, Oklahoma, of bootlegging gangsters. In 1878 the bad guys rode horses; in 1924 they drove Piece-Arrows and Fords and flew airplanes. Frontier outlaw or prohibition hoodlum, Tilghman fought them all. In his lifetime he saw the vast herds of buffalo disappear from the great plains and Oklahoma transformed from Indian territory and outlaw haven into homesteading land and booming oil country. Oklahoma City evolved from a collection of muddy tents and shacks into a thriving metropolis. It was a dramatic transformation and Bill Tilghman helped make it happen. Beside him through most of that transformation was his wife, author Zoe Agnes Stratton. Zoe not only had an up close view of the various outlaws her husband pursued, but was instrumental in preserving those daring exploits on paper. The short stories and books she wrote about Tilghman's life as a law enforcement agent helped make him a celebrated figure throughout the West. Zoe recorded Marshal Tilghman's capture of such criminals as the Doolin Gang, Cattle Annie and Little Britches, and the Jennings brothers. She also wrote of his friendship with such well-known figures as Marshal Heck Thomas, Marshal Bass Reeves, and Judge Isaac Parker. When Bill Tilghman was gunned down in 1924 by a corrupt federal agent, Zoe had to find a way to continue on and financially support the two sons she'd had with the lawman. She earned a living writing about each case her husband had taken on during his career. Zoe hoped her sons, Richard and Woodie, would do better than their father had when he was young as the old frontier days were past, but Bill Tilghman's brace of pistols remained symbolic of the family's fate. In October 1929, nineteen-year-old Richard was killed in a crooked gambling game, along with his friend James Chitwood, a farmer. Seventeen-year-old Woodie was arrested soon after for killing the man who shot his brother. Woodie was arrested for manslaughter and sentenced to five years in prison. Zoe wrote about those heartbreaking events as well. Her body of work is recognized as some of the state's finest historical writing. The book Tilghman is not only the story of a man - it's a colorful, exciting history of the last days of the Western frontier. It's also the story of a woman, desperate to hold onto her family and honor the life of the man she loved so dearly.
