Doug Hocking is an independent scholar who has completed advanced studies in American history, ethnology, and historical archaeology. In this lecture, he will share with you stories about Grant Wheeler and Joe George. These fellows were Cochise County cowboys and rodeo heroes who decided on a special retirement scheme; they'd rob the Southern Pacific. They were pursued by famous lawmen with often hilarious results, giving inspiration to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as only Cochise County cowboys could.
