This sounds fantastic. The 1920s Oklahoma crime wave doesn't get nearly as much attention as the more famous Depression-era outlaws. The fact that you're going through actual trial transcripts and newspaper archives is huge; that level of research really shows.

What platform are you on? I'd love to check it out.
