2. The Dalton family came from Jackson County, Missouri. Lewis Dalton was a
tavern in Kansas City, Kansas, when he married Adeline Younger, Cole's aunt and
Jim Younger. By 1882, the family lived in northwest Oklahoma, then known as the
Indian Territory, and in 1886 moved to Coffeyville, southeast Kansas. Thirteen of
the fifteen children survived to maturity
3. Bank robbery
The band might have kept busy with the robberies on trains, but Bob Dalton
wanted to make sure his name would be long remembered. As he stated, he
would "get over anything Jesse James ever did-flip two banks at a time, in the light
of day." On October 5, 1892, the Dalton gang attempted this feat when they set
out to rob C.M. Condon & Company's Bank and First National Bank in Coffeyville,
Kansas. Since the locals were aware of their physical appearance, they wore false
beards. But they were still identified by the people of the town.
