PERSIMMON BILL By: Maurice Kildare Friends, the wild gold stampede into the storied Black Hills burst wide open in 1876. Immediately behind hardy prospectors and miners moved along jerk-line freight outfits, then the rapidly expanded stage lines. All were intent on getting in on the bonanza. Preying on these hordes of people were murderous white outlaws and scalp hunting Indians. Each group used its own murderous cruel methods of gaining specific ends. Cases of burial slayings, daring robberies and cattle rustling filled the wanted posters of Persimmon Bill as lawmen from all over the territory sought the “infamous joker.” South Dakota’s Black Hills will long remember the rampages of Persimmon Bill Chambers. Here is the rest of the story. Please read this. This is an overlooked story I found in an unusual and different magazine.. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the outlaws are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort. PERSIMMON BILL By: Maurice Kildare Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are lying on some dealer’s dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, its worth all the time I spend. As a tribute to the honor of our American Ancestors, Early Settlers, Forefathers, Pioneers and our Native American Indians, my indexed listings will include all names mentioned in the story from this time on.
