Rufus Black Gang
Of all of the gangs in the Wild West, the Rufus Black gang might have been the most brutal. Though the gang wasn’t around too long, these men quickly gained a reputation of murderers, rapists, and robbers. These men were so cruel and vicious that two women died after being raped and tortured by the gang. The gang was captured by a mixed group of US lawmen and Creek Indian police. They were all hanged together after being sentenced to death in 1896.

Jesse James
If there is any outlaw that you probably know from the Wild West, it is likely Jesse James. He and his brother, Frank, were part of many gangs following the Civil War, and were well known robbers of trains, stage coaches, and banks. Eventually, they started their own gang, which ultimately put them on the outlaw map. During his life, he was a notorious celebrity, and after death, he became a legend of the Wild West.
