What were Old West jails like?
What were Old West jails like?
For the most part, the Hollywood cliché of a frontier jail, with open bars on the window and cell, did not exist.

The only men to hang in Fort Smith, Arkansas, for rape, these five members of the Rufus Buck Gang were executed on July 1, 1896. As far as we know, this was the largest mass execution for rape in U.S. history.

Robert Richter Waiting for somebody to point out the fact they were a multi racial gang... Black and Creek Indian and claim it as an example of frontier discrimination... And then completely disregard the fact that the two women they raped died of their injuries and not to mention other outright murders... They were captured by their own... The Creek Light Horse...

Duray Davis I am Creek and black and they deserved to be hung. I remember my great grandpa telling me his parents went down to Ft.Smith to watch this. Which was common then. Hangins should come back, guarantee you crime would drop.

When Fred Harvey set out to give railroad travelers a decent meal—something long lacking as the west developed—he had a big job on his hands.

Don Parker If you ever have the chance, visit (& eat!) at the Turquoise Room in the La Posada hotel in Winslow, AZ (yes, that Winslow). It was the last Fred Harvey hotel built & it's a great experience. The food is fantastic!

In this 1880s cabinet card, accurately captioned “The Genuine Cow Boy Captured Alive,” Cottonwood Charlie Nebo (left), a proud proprietor of a horse ranch, wears a bib front shirt, shotgun chaps, bandanna, wide brimmed hat and his fringed, scabbard-style holster. His half-breed partner Nick has left off the chaps and boots, and is wearing a vest that was popular among frontier cowboys.
