I have read everything in this thread including all of the links, it is the most interesting thread on the forum.

I am surprised at how man of the mentioned incidents were woven into the Lonesome Dove series (prequel and sequel).

I have read everything I could find about Smithfield and am unsure where fact and fiction begin and end with him - there seems to be a lot "what I did" in his stories and I have some doubts that he may have actually done some of the things he says.

Great thread - I look forward to more of it.
