"Alive If Possible, Dead If Necessary" is the title of my new book due to be released in the next month or two. This book is a history of the lawmen and outlaws of the 1920's in Oklahoma. Topics covered in detail include bank robbers such as the Al Spencer gang, the Kimes-Terrill gang, and the "Reign of Terror of the Osage Hills" also known as the Osage Murders.

I am creating a web site at http://hometown.aol.com/dcordry/myhomepage/alive.html where visitors can read the introduction to the book, view photos, etc. The book can be ordered at the publishers web site at http://www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore/book.php?w=cordry_.

Information about Ray Terrill can be found on the Oklahoma Supreme Court web site at:

and

These are legal motions filed on behalf of Terrill while he was in custody.

Hi Dee,

This should a great book to anyone's collection concerning the 1920's law enforcement. I hope it does well! My book on "The Kimes Gang" will also be out shortly, so these two new books covering simular era's should cover the gangs and lawlessness during the early years prior to the depression and shortly thereafter.
