Description
At this site, on September 1 1893, one ot the deadliest gun battles in the history of the west between the Doolin-Dalton gang and US Deputy Marshalls took place at Ingalls, Oklahoma Territory.
On the morning of September 1, 1893 the posse crept into town to capture the gang. "Arkansas Tom" Jones, who was sick in bed at the Ingalls Hotel, fired from his second story window, mortally wounding U.S. Deputy Marshal Thomas Houston, who would die the next day. Within seconds a full-out gunfight erupted with the outlaws. All the outlaws escaped except "Arkansas Tom" Jones, who was trapped in the hotel room. He was later sent to federal prison in Guthrie, Oklahoma Territory. Three US Marshals and two bystanders were slain during the battle.
The story of the infamous shoot-out has been the subject of songs, books, and movies over the years.
