In a February blog I shared the transcript of one version of the story Louis Goochey told his grandchildren about the Turpin shooting. I promised more information to help sort through the story. This is a start....
Goochey told his family that “shortly after the family moved to their claim on the Niobrara [he] was approached by a committee from the neighborhood. They stated that the area was rife with horse thieves, and, since law authority was tenuous at best, they had formed a vigilante committee to protect their property from these thieves.”
How true is this? Let’s look at what was going on.
