A gunfight at the OK Hotel spurs a controversy.
Rose of Cimarron was first introduced to readers in 1915 in a little red paper-covered book titled
Oklahoma Outlaws.
The book was prepared by a newspaperman using information supplied by Bill Tilghman, a respected lawman in Oklahoma Territory in the 1890s. It was sold at showings of the photodrama,
Passing of the Oklahoma Outlaws, which was scripted primarily by Tilghman. In the book and movie portrayal of the Ingalls battle between 13 lawmen and six members of Bill Doolin’s gang, Rose of Cimarron makes a dramatic exit from the hotel, carrying a rifle through a hail of bullets to her wounded lover, outlaw Bitter Creek Newcomb.

Nuc Ranch Case Study
312 Words2 Pages
When Will abruptly dropped out of the school of Kemper, he immediately went out in search of a job as a ranch hand. The Ewing ranch in Oklahoma Territory had an opening, and Will took it. He enjoyed his time working as a ranch hand so much, that when he was given his first monthâs pay, he turned it down, because he felt that instead of working on the ranch, he was just visiting. The work Will experienced as a ranch hand on cattle drives were similar to his fatherâs early days when he also worked on a cattle ranch. Will was no longer a boy anymore, but a man. He eventually left the outfit in order to join several other cattle drives. Just like his father, Will knew he wanted to work with cattle.
