Prompted by a reader's letter to my website (PlanetSlade.com), I recently dug out the original news coverage of the October 6, 1890, St Louis gun battle which inspired this classic murder ballad. Read all about it here.

Mr. Paul Slade,

That is a mighty fine and interesting web blog you have crafted.

The Duncan & Brady Ballad piece is grand. There is a lot of fine reading on your other topics too.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Thank you for a labor of love and talent.

I too have spent many happy hours on PlanetSlade over the last few weeks, originally directed there from another thread here.
