Why would anyone want to delete this? It meets or exceeds all of the ambiguis vague rules of "criteria for speedy deletion".

I put it back, if anyone can do any better, lets see.

Ambush as only account of, um, ambush

Ambush was the only book written about Gibsland, but five of the six posse members wrote (or at least went on the record) detailing their own views of the goings-on that day. Sheriff Jordan wrote a by-lined account of the incident, which the Associated Press placed in hundreds of newspapers, including The New York Times, on May 24, 1934. Deputy Alcorn penned a by-lined account the same day in The Dallas Morning News. Captain Hamer and Deputy Hinton both contributed multiple quotes to the Morning News coverage that day. Deputy Oakley went on the record later, though I've only ever read about his remarks, never saw them in original form. Deputy Gault is the only posse member whose account I haven't seen, though that's not to say he didn't leave one.

Some would say that the immediacy of the 1934 material trumps the 40-plus year old material in Ambush, but that's all part of the evaluation process, isn't it. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 06:53, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
