Carlisle was being reported as sassy and successful on this day in 1919. In fact, his attempt at robbing a Union Pacific passenger train near Medicine Bow failed due to his own scruples. . . he couldn't rob soldiers, and he'd been wounded disarming a passenger.
Rumors were circulating that he'd sent a bragging telegram. I'm not that familiar with the details of this story, but I don't believe that he did.
He had been lost track of, that's true.
But I don't believe that he'd made it to Casper.
The press was giving him greater abilities than he had.
