I've read one account of her being infatuated with "Red Buck" but I've read other stories of her liking "Bitter Creek" Newcomb. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.

E. D. Nix ties “Rose of the Cimarron” to Bitter Creek Newcomb. He also names “Cattle Annie” as Annie McDougal and “Little Britches” as Jeannie Metcalf. In his book “Oklahombres…” Nix did not say who Annie took up with.
Glenn Shirley identifies Annie as McDougal; McDoulet; McDermot; and Little Britches as Jeannie Stevens and Jennie Midkiff. Interestingly, Shirley just before stating Annie was with Red Buck quoted most of a Guthrie Daily Leader article, citing it as the Golden Anniversary Edition, April 16, 1939. Shirley also says Annie fell in love with Buck Waightman, aka: Red Buck. His footnote sources were described as “contemporary sources” and were listed as the Beaver Herald of September 12, 1895 and the Oklahoma State Capital of October 3, 1895. What exactly those articles say I don’t know, haven’t read them. The way he cited the information leads me to believe he was not happy and was somewhat unsure his sources would support his contention. A fella by the name of Steve Bunch knows a “bunch” about Annie….

Does anyone know if Bittercreek Newcomb has any siblings? I have outlaw Newcombs in family and was wondering if there was a connection.
Thanks

Just happened to be passing by! Emma Ann McDoulet was from Red Rock, O.T., she strayed off with Jennie Stevens and sold some whiskey up in the Indian allotments and also stole some "Tack Gear" and maybe even a coupla livestock animals. When the Big Bad Marshals caught up with them, both Emma Ann,12 yoa and Jennie 13 or fourteen yoa. were both photographed in Perry, O.T. with weapons and wisked off to a girls reform school back east. There is No evidence that either girl ever even met or encountered any of the Doolin co-horts. Most of that "Crap" was a figment of the Guthrie "Newspaper" and one of the Bigger Liars and self promoters of the time, William Tilghman. No big time Here, just two young girls that embarrassed the DUSMs of the time. Both girls lived a long and productive, God fearing lives.
