Ned Christie

Ned Christie was a Cherokee outlaw, who met his demise at the end of a lawman’s gun barrel. He became famous due to a standoff with lawmen after he barricaded himself in his home after he was accused of murder. This standoff lasted for five years, and during that time, Christie was even able to build a new, stronger home, with the help of his family and friends. Ultimately, the “war” ended when Christie was ultimately shot by Wess Bowman, a deputy.

The “Rose of the Wild Bunch,” Laura Bullion was close with other outlaws like Butch Cassidy, and learned a life of lawlessness from her father, who was a bank robber. Known for her rough exterior and romantic involvement with many members of the “Wild Bunch,” Laura eventually gave up a life of crime after a stint in prison for robbery. She lived a long life, eventually dying in 1961 at the age of 85 due to heart disease.
