The Dalton Gang was a group of outlaws in the American Old West during
1890â€"1892. It was also known as The Dalton Brothers because four of
its members were brothers. The gang specialized in bank and train
robberies. During an attempted double bank robbery in Coffeyville,
Kansas in 1892, two of the brothers and two other gang members were
killed; Emmett survived and was captured, tried, and convicted. He was
paroled after serving 14 years in prison.Bob, Gratton "Grat," and
Emmett had first worked as lawmen for the federal court at Fort Smith,
Arkansas, and then for the Osage Nation. They started stealing horses
to make more money and then fled the area. They decided to form a
gang, and started robbing banks, stagecoaches, and trains. While their
middle brother "Bill" Dalton never joined any heists, he served as
their spy and informant.Due to the sensationalism that surrounded the
Dalton Gang's exploits, they were accused of several different
robberies all over the country, but operated chiefly in Kansas and
Oklahoma Territory. Numerous myths were published about the gang.After
Bob and Grat were killed at Coffeyville, Bill Dalton formed another
gang with Bill Doolin. It was known as the Wild Bunch, or the
Dalton-Doolin Gang. Dalton Gang Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
