TheRealCherokeeOwl 🦉(@CherokeeOwl):THE MARLOW BROTHERS 1889. Near Graham, Texas. Four brothers chained together in a wagon. The lynch mob hit them in the dark. Two were killed where they sat. The other two were still shackled to the bodies. They grabbed guns and fought the mob off while chained to their dead brothers. They lived. The family left Texas and never returned. Western fiction never wrote a night harder than that one. (Documented 1889 Dry Creek ambush and later court records. Details of exact shots vary.) Some men are bound by iron. Some are bound by blood. The second chain is stronger. #OldWest #TrueStory #MarlowBrothers
