Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 And Bill Doolin missed the robbery and battle because of a lame horse. (There is some controversy on this account.) Anyway, had he ridden in with the gang and been captured or killed, there might never have been a Wild Bunch. Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting, Curly.
