Left home in 1881 and became a cowboy in Native territory
Worked on ranches, was considered honest and quiet
Met Emmett Dalton while employed at the Bar X Bar Ranch near present day Pawnee, Oklahoma and traded his old ranch hand job for bank and train robbery with the Dalton gang.
Slide4Outlaw Activity
After they killed 10 people near Ingalls, Oklahoma in 1893, the Ingalls residents decided it was safer to accept the outlaws of the Doolin-Dalton gang than to fight them.
In return for not robbing locals, outlaws could get drunk wherever they wanted and sleep wherever they wanted without fear of waking up to a sheriff's presence.
The Doolin-Dalton gang, also known as the Oklahombres or the Wild Bunch, were bandits, murderers, bank and train robbers, and horse thieves. They were the last great bandits of the old West.
