Hi Creamofcards,
I have 5/6ths of your answer and I wanted to ask if it was okay for me
to change Ike Clanton to either Doc Holliday or Bat Masterson. Below
are five of the six (also, see additional photos near the bottom).
I'll be happy to stick with Clanton if you want, but Masterson or
Holliday are better recognized. Please advise.
Best regards,
journalist-ga
BELLE STARR
Myra Maybelle "Belle" Shirley Reed Starr (1848-1889) was known as "The
Bandit Queen." No evidence proves she participated in direct crime,
but Belle was a cohort of known outlaws throughout her life, and
rumored to have been a one-time brothel keeper and to have dressed as
a man to commit felonies. Married to outlaw Jim Reed until his death,
she later wed Cherokee desperado Sam Starr and, after his demise,
married Starr's brother, Jim July. Both July and Belle's children
were suspected of her 1889 murder.

ROBERT LEROY "BUTCH CASSIDY" PARKER
The exact death of Butch Cassidy, born Robert LeRoy Parker
(1866-1908?1937) to Mormon parents, remains a mystery. After joining
rustler Mike Cassidy's gang, Parker borrowed Cassidy's surname, and by
1896 he had formed the "Wild Bunch" that robbed banks, trains, and
mine payrolls. To escape capture, he and gang member Harry "Sundance
Kid" Longabaugh headed to South America where they continued their
crime spree. Rumored to have died in a shoot out with Bolivian
police, Parker may have cheated death until 1937 by assuming a false
identity.

HARRY ALONZO "SUNDANCE KID" LONGABAUGH
A key member of Butch Cassidy's gang, Harry Longabaugh
(1867/1870-1908?1957) was first arrested for horse theft in Sundance,
Wyoming. His long liaison with girlfriend, Etta Place, made him one
the Wild West's most romanticized outlaws. Escaping to Bolivia to
avoid capture by the Pinkerton Agency (America's first detective
agency and model for the FBI), Longabaugh and Cassidy continued their
robberies until 1908 in San Vincente where they reportedly died,
possibly in a mutual suicide. However, Longabaugh's exact date of
death remains a highly speculated topic.

JESSE WOODSON JAMES
The son of a minister, Jesse Woodson James (1847-1882) was both an
upstanding family man and a notorious outlaw. Riding with the
Quantrill's Raiders during his youth, James is reputed to have turned
to crime because he hated the North and all it represented. With his
brother, Frank, he formed the James gang to rob banks and railroad
cars. Allegedly murdered in his home in 1862 by Bob Ford, speculation
is that James was misidentified and went on to enjoy a long life.
