I went throgh th archives to find Roger's and/or Roger's explanation of how they agreed on the date of Allison showing up in Dodge City as September 24, 1878 and not the 19th, as Roger Myers first thought. I found a post of mine in which I added a link to a post of Roger Jay's in which he explained how he and Myers arrived at that conclusion. Unfortunately, that link was to Texas Jack's old page and does not bring up anything. I did find this message from Roger Jay, though, in which he confirms that he and Myers arrived at September 24th.

          To the best of my memory, they arrivd at the date of September 24th because, partially, of references to he Dull Knife raid in the newspapers and an initial misunderstanding of when Cape Willinghm, who... more

            I really don't remember, but it is possible that the two Rogers researched the news that Cape Willigham told Siringo about the previous day's events in Meade City and the near the Crooked Creek store.... more
