Lecture - January 10, 2026 - 1 PM - Outlaw Tap Duncan
Tap Duncan was the most successful horseback outlaw in the frontier era of the United States. A vicious beating in his teenage years and the unjustified hanging of his older brother caused Tap to adopt a grim outlook on life. He never went anywhere without a pistol, and he became a law unto himself. Tap gathered 11 "notches" on his pistol and specialized in taking other people's money and property, yet he died a millionaire. Some of his work occurred in Idaho. His story is definitely movie material.
