Summary

Hey, Josh here, with the Wild West Extravaganza. I just wanted to touch base and issue a very quick correction. On the most recent episode – The Insane Life of Billy Brooks – I misattributed many of the quotes. My main source for research was not Leon Metz; it was historian Robert K. DeArment and his excellent book, Deadly Dozen, Volume 3. In other words, every time you heard me say Leon Metz, it should have been Robert DeArment. This is totally my fault. I’ve got a lot of books by Leon Metz, and more often than not, I’m researching several different topics at the same time. Both Mr. DeArment and Mr. Metz are excellent Old West historians, and I simply got my names mixed up. The information’s still good, but it comes from Robert K. DeArment as opposed to Leon Metz. My apologies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
