I WAS JUST THINKING THAT WHY DONT YOU GO SEE POWELL AND ASK HIM WHAT PER-CENT WILL HE GIVE YOU ON THE FINISHED BOOK, AND THEN WRITE AND OFFER, "DOUBLEDAY, DORAN AND CO" ABOUT 150.

Emmett's older brothers briefly worked as US deputy marshals in Indian Territory and shared a position held by their older brother Frank Dalton after he was killed in the line of duty. They hired Emmett to serve as a guard at the jail at Fort Smith, in present-day Arkansas. The elder two started working for the Osage Nation to help them set up a police force but fled after being pursued for stealing horses. Shortly after, they began to conduct robberies of banks, stagecoaches, and trains. Emmett would later join them forming The Dalton Gang.
