EMMETT DALTON
THIS CDV PHOTOGRAPH WAS UNMARKED IN THE JAMES ALBUM. A HANDSOME YOUNG KID SITTING . WE DIDNT PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT UNTIL DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE DALTON FAMILY WE CAME ACROSS A PHOTO OF EMMETT DALTON AS A GROWN MIDDLE AGED MAN AND SOMETHING ABOUT HIS FACE LOOKED LIKE THIS KIDS FACE. AFTER COMPARING THE TWO WE BELIEVE THIS IS A YOUNG EMMETT DALTON. HE WAS WITH HIS BROTHERS BOB AND GRAT DURING THE OCTOBER 5, 1892 RAID AT COFFEYVILLE AND HE WAS SHOT MULTIPLE TIMES BUT SURVIVED. YOU CAN READ ABOUT THE DALTON RAID BY CONTACTING THE COFFEYVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AT THE LINK BELOW.
WE RECENTLY HAD SOME KNOWLEDGABLE INPUT REGARDING OUR CDV PHOTO OF EMMETT DALTON .
WE HAVE ADDED A LINK BELOW TO K.M. PRESLANDS SITE OF EMMETT DALTON.
SHE POINTED OUT THAT OUR CDV PHOTO OF EMMETT HAS THE SAME RING ON HIS PINKY FINGER THAT CAN BE SEEN IN SOME OF EMMETTS PHOTOS IN LATER YEARS THAT SHOW HIS LEFT HAND..
WE APPRECIATED HER ADDITION OF THIS INFORMATION.
HER SITE IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND WELL WORTH CHECKING OUT..
