18978-19 Today our Wagon Train to the past stops by to see an angry outburst by J.C. Wilson – from his initial stabbing of young Benjamin Ball, through Wilson’s escape, recapture, and eventual sentencing, even mentioning a later pardon request.
We also see William Gazolo who killed a female partner in crime, and Claud Wilson who assaulted City Marshal Sawyer after running over a little oy in his wagon. Today we offer a glimpse into the judicial processes and societal reactions to crime during this period, including the pursuit of fugitives and the debate over penal reform. Welcome to the 1870’s on the Kansas Prairie!
