Dalton Defenders Days celebrates that fateful day of October 5, 1892 when the Dalton Gang was defeated in Coffeyville Kansas.  The Dalton Gang attempted to rob two banks in Coffeyville and all but one of them was shot and killed.  We celebrate the four towns people who gave their lives defending Coffeyville.
