Hi,
I too have a relative, James “Red” C. C. Rogers, who served as a U.S. Deputy Marshall out of Ft. Smith, Arkansas. In 1908 he was brutally murdered (by stabbing) in his own home. It would be a true tribute to these brave men, who gave their lives, to tame the “Wild West” by doing this film. I can’t wait to see it!!!!!!

My great grandfather was Bill Tilghman and I’d love to be involved in this production in some way. I have many decades of experience in the movies myself. Please email me.

What a great idea! Lyndon, Rich passed on this information to me because of my family history. My great grandfather, Charles Alton Overlock, was the first US Marshall of Arizona Territory. It is fun to imagine what life was like back then. We have been on the original homestead, where Geronimo watered his horses, etc., and of course his story is in the history books.
The very best to you as you develop the story and its production.

Hey Guys, What a great premise for a movie! Hope it makes it to production! What a great way to learn about our family history that didn’t make the stories that were passed down by our parents and grandparents. Thanks for the research! We’ll go see the movie and buy the DVD! I will always remember looking for “peach theives” with you guys!

Best Wishes,
Arnol

Hello, Could you please contact me about possibly including my family ancestor in your movie production? My Greatgrandmother’s nephew, Richard “Dick” Farr was a contemporary of your John McGill and also served as a Deputy U.S. Marshall out of Ft. Smith, Arkansas. Dick Farr was also the Chief of Police for Okmulgee, Oklahoma, in the early 1900′s. He and his brother Ezekial Farr were very early settlers of Okmulgee. Dick Farr was a rather colorful
character and ranked up there with Bill Tilghman, Chris Madsen, and Heck Thomas, all very notable Oklahoma Lawmen.

I thoroughly enjoyed the “Bill Tilgman” movie and have always hoped that someone would produce an authentic Oklahoma Lawmen movie depicting them and other notable peace officers. I have some background information on cousin Dick and would be proud to share it. I would be interested in a “bit” part in your production too.
Thanks, Rick Manning
