Whew. On the page and on the screen, these were powerful moments. Didn’t know about Deets’ real-life inspiration!

Great read, Derrick. Question: do we know what happened to the grave marker that Goodnight commissioned?

Than you, Josh. We do. It serves as Ikard's marker in the Greenwood Cemetery in Weatherford, Texas. Wade Jacobs, a fellow Y'allogy reader sent me a photograph he took of Ikard's marker a few years back, which I've now included in the original post.
