I am a Oklahoma town historian working with a Steven Slaughter residing in San Diego. He is trying to locate as much information about his great uncle Tom Slaughter. I see the Oklahombres Directory an article written by Ken Butler entitled "Outlaw Tom Slaughter - even his name spelled death". How do I get a copy of that article?

Mr. Cooper,

I sent Steve Slaughter a copy of Ken Butler's very fine story about his great-uncle, Tom Slaughter, when the article was first published; and, I also sent him a copy of the Oklahoma State Trooper Magazine a few years later when the same article was reproduced in that very fine publication.

Therefor, if you need a copy of the article for your personal use, I would suggest that you ask Steve to send you a copy from his file.

Thank you so much. The last I heard from Steve he was wanting to find out something about a bank robbery in Frederick, Oklahoma. Evidently Tom Slaughter might have been involved in it. The town of Frederick has a message board. I have a message on it at present time.
Thanks again for your information

Mr. Cooper,

If you decide to request a copy of the Tom Slaughter story from Steve (the grandnephew), ask him for the "revised" account that appeared in the Oklahoma State Trooper Magazine; because, it contains several "corrections" from the original article, and some additional Tom Slaughter escapades in Oklahoma.

If you have any problem obtaining a copy of the article, re-post here and I'll send you a copy.

Thanks much ... will do. And thanks for your help.

I too am related to Tom Slaughter on my Mothers side. I have been trying to get the info regarding Tom but have been unsuccessful. Would someone e-mail the story to me at hsmith6@sc.rr.com or if thats not possible, forward a revised copy to Harold Smith, 2983 Cedar Creek Run, Little River, Sc 29566. Thanks mucho!

Mr. Smith (Harold),

I will make a copy of the "Tom Slaughter" article for you and get it in the mail - tomorrow.

Thanks Oldwest. Are you SASS? If so I'm Dakota Four Eyes. Appreciate your early response to my request.

There is further info on Tom Slaughter at the following web site. Harold d. Smith

I am doing some research for a daughter (by second marriage) of Slaughter's wife, Mabel May Murphy. Is there a place where the Oklahombre article is posted online? Or, can it be emailed?
Thanks, Vic

Vic,
