In researching your blog I came across Bill Long and found the information below about him. My second great grandfather is named Bill Long. He is the same Bill Long who has been in the news with my Unlce Jerry Nickle showing him to be The Sundance Kid in his book Bringing Sundance Home.
I am researching the Bill Long who ran with Texas Charlie and went by the name MODOC Bill. I have reason to believe that this may be my second great grandfather. Do you have any more information about him or suggestions on where to look for more information?
Thanks,
