LESSER KNOWN OUTLAWS OF WYOMING by Peter Netzel A gang, led by "Big Nose" George Parrott, attempted to rob a train by Medicine Bow, in southern Wyoming, in 1878. The attempt was foiled by a railroad worker who discovered the damaged track in time. The initial manhunt resulted in the ambush and murder of two deputies, Robert Widdowfield and Tip Vincent, men well-liked by all who knew them. Posses were formed and intense efforts began to capture the treacherous outlaws, who included: "Big Nose" George Parrott, Dutch Charley Burris, Frank Towle, Sim Wan, Reddy McKimie, Tom Reed, Jack "Sandy" Campbell, Culley McDonald, and John Erwin. Vivid details of the events are brought to life by the addition of old news articles from the times. These are the stories of the attempted Medicine Bow train robbery in 1878; the double-murder of 2 deputies; and the fate of the very bad men who were responsible. Many of them were lynched by angry citizens. This book will take you on the journey of Big Nose George Parrott and four of his later gang associates: Dutch Charley Burris, Frank Towle, Reddy McKimie, John Erwin, and Sim Wan. Their outlaw exploits were notorious at the time. And, their lives were shortened, often brutally, by angry citizens and lawmen. George had a fondness for Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains. He and his gang returned there after many a robbery to hide out. In 1878, Parrott met up with other outlaws, one of whom was "Dutch Charley" Buress, in Rawlins, Wyoming. The group decided to rob a train near Medicine Bow Station. Big Nose George kept watch while the others attempted to damage the track in order to stop the train. Before they got very far with their tampering, a Union Pacific railroad worker came around a bend pumping a hand car. Thus began a series of events that would leave two deputies killed and massive manhunts for the gang members. Although all of them escaped, most of them ended up being lynched, imprisoned, or murdered. This book, LESSER KNOWN OUTLAWS OF WYOMING, contains many old newspaper articles, which will take you back in time; you will ride alongside the desperadoes and the lawmen; you will hear the angry voices and view the lynchings, and all the vivid details of the events surrounding this story.

The Wild Bunch, the confederation of western outlaws headed by Butch Cassidy, found sanctuary on the rugged Outlaw Trail. Stretching across Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, this trail offered desert and mountain hideouts to bandits and cowboys. The almost inaccessible Hole-in-the-Wall in Wyoming was a station on the Outlaw Trail well known to Butch Cassidy. To the south, in Utah, was the inhospitable Robbers’ Roost, where Butch and his friends camped in 1897 after a robbery at Castle Gate. Charles Kelly recreates the mean and magnificent places frequented by the Wild Bunch and a slew of lesser outlaws. At the same time, he brings Butch Cassidy to life, traces his criminal apprenticeship and meeting with the Sundance Kid, and masterfully describes the exploits of the Wild Bunch.

Wyoming Outlaws, Butch Cassidy in Wyoming, 1889-1896, is the result of fifty years of research by author Mike Bell.It brings together his three previous volumes on Cassidy in Wyoming, published by the English Westerners' Society. This history began as the search for Billy Nutcher, who sold Cassidy stolen horses, and for Jack Bliss, the man who led the horse thieves. It became a history of the horse thieves and the long-forgotten horse thief war that has been overlooked by historians because of the the Johnson County War of 1892, which dominated the press at the time and has held the attention of historians and the public ever since. The horse thief war was far more wide-ranging and lethal than the Johnson County War, covering parts of three states and killing nine men. This book tells the story of Cassidy's forgotten years in Wyoming, and of the war to end horse theft, a war that nearly killed Cassidy. It also follows the careers of many of the men who rode with Cassidy at that time.

Why did a Man want to be sheriff? The pay was low, and the work ranged from menial to dangerous and demanding. The majority of the men who enforced the law were average citizens. Some served in a time of high adventure; some were not as brave as others; some drank too much; some were pawns of politics, and others were escaping shadowy pasts. As Gorzalka chronicles the life of each sheriff in Wyoming's territorial days, their successes, failures, and motivation, the stories combine to create the era's history. Chapters on all fifty-five territorial sheriffs. Photos of most.

A historic and folkloric path that meandered from Canada to Mexico, the Outlaw Trail was used by outlaws such as Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and the James brothers. Following existing Western routes such as the Oregon Trail, the highway connected towns and natural hideouts essential for bandits escaping the law. Some in Western communities were sympathetic toward the outlaws. Many, like Cassidy, were seen as Robin Hoods, fighting for common people who were under siege by economic forces, corporate encroachment, and other changes occurring in the Old West. Images of America: Wyoming's Outlaw Trail details the history, folklore, and geography behind some of Wyoming's outlaw towns and hideouts--chief among them the Hole in the Wall and Red Desert. Also highlighted are the deeds of the robbers, lawmen, and ordinary folk who rode those dusty trails during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

This collection of fifty outlaw tales includes well-knowns such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Frank and Jesse James, Belle Starr (and her dad), and Pancho Villa, along with a fair smattering of women, organized crime bosses, smugglers, and of course the usual suspects: highwaymen, bank and train robbers, cattle rustlers, snake-oil salesmen, and horse thieves. Men like Henry Brown and Burt Alvord worked on both sides of the law either at different times of their lives or simultaneously. Clever shyster Soapy Smith and murderer Martin Couk survived by their wits, while the outlaw careers of the dimwitted DeAutremont brothers and bigmouthed Diamondfield Jack were severely limited by their intellect, or lack thereof. Nearly everyone in these pages was motivated by greed, revenge, or a lethal mixture of the two. The most bloodthirsty of the bunch, such as the heartless (and, some might argue, soulless) Annie Cook and trigger-happy Augustine Chacón, surely had evil written into their very DNA.
