It’s safe to say that a career as an outlaw doesn’t lend itself to a long life. Billy the Kid was only twenty-one years old when he was killed. Cherokee Bill was a year younger. The notorious Bloody Bill Anderson was not yet twenty-five. Jesse James, Joaquin Murrieta, Rube Burrow, Bill Longley, and the list goes on. Not one of them over the age of forty. But of course, there are exceptions. Not ALL of the West’s most dangerous men died young. Nor did they simply disappear at the turn of the 20th century. Some of ‘em stuck around and tried to adapt. This is one such story - someone you have most definitely heard of. A true legend of the old west; a killer. And yes, a shoe salesman. #wildwest #history #outlaw
