Paden Tolbert is credited with the only use of a cannon against civilians by law enforcement officers in history. Tolbert headed up the posse that cornered Ned Christie in a mountain stronghold. After attempting to blast him out with a three pounder cannon, they finally succeeded in blasting a hole in the walls with dynamite, resulting in the shooting death of Christie. Tolbert is also credited with introducing Alberta peaches to Clarksville Arkansas, for which the town is still famous to this day. 8.5x14 packet of documents signed at least twice by Tolbert in ink $85.00 |
