RE: How The Most Famous Texas Ranger Got His Start. Part 6
Howdy Janton! So I read all three parts of this infamous Putnam ordeal, lol. Well, it wasn't funny then, but you sure made me laugh writing about it. On the serious note, Frank was definitely a good shooter and I was surprised when I found out that Putnam was shoot to death. I though he was maybe just injured. But he was really stupid poor guy, lol. And that last photo of him, OH MY GOSH!!! And here we are, making fun of the dead again, lol.
By the way, are going to write about Frank and Bonnie and Clyde?
Howdy Miss Lena! I'm glad you liked the story. I like it when the bad guys get what they deserve. Did you think showing that picture of Putnam was in bad taste? They used to plaster those photos, except usually alot more gruesome, all over the front page of the newspapers.
I just got the book about Frank Hamer today, his biography written by a historian, it's huge. lol. I haven't started reading it yet but I plan on doing a series about his life if it's a great book. and of course a big part of that book is the Bonnie and Clyde story.
Howdy Janton! I finally made it, lol. Why do you think the photo was in bad taste? Because I said we are making fun of dead? Well honestly, I don't know what God thinks about this, but the photo is funny and he was a criminal. So I think it's okay, lol.
Anyway, I am glad you got the book! Sounds like a fascinating story and I look forward to read your take on it 😊
Howdy Miss Lena! I didn't say the photo was in bad taste, I was asking if you thought it was. I think it's fine as it just went along with the story and it's what the Old West newspapers used to do.
I think parents would look at their kids and point out the dead criminals in the paper and say something like "see here what you end up like if you don't live right?"
Okay, Janton I just thought you were asking me, if I think it was in bad taste. But I was only kiding about it, lol.
Yes, I was asking you if it was in bad taste. So you think it wasn't or were you kidding about that part? lol.
