Wild West Figures

The Wild West era, spanning from the 1860s to the 1890s, was a time of cowboys, Indians, pioneers, outlaws, and gunslingers. It was an age defined by expansion, defense, greed, and reinvention, giving rise to a rich mythology that has fascinated people for generations.

He later joined a group of cattle thieves in New Mexico and fought in the Lincoln County War. Despite his claims of killing close to twenty men, he likely only killed fewer than ten before being fatally shot at just 21 years old.
