Tom Horn himself was the source of many of the myths that circulated about him. Yet not all of his claims were false; he was an avid rope braider (he’s shown with one of his ropes in this photo of him in the jail in Cheyenne, Wyoming). But the idea that he braided the rope that hanged him stinks of legend!

Kim Winthrop Hoffman This is perfect example of how when things don't work out then they just get worse. Obviously William Rynerson should have been hung, instead he was acquitted, thus eliminating Bilito's only opportunity to grow old gracefully, befitting a well regarded regulator.

Mannen Clements Jr. is shown with his fellow officers of the El Paso Police in 1897. He is seated second from the right. The first seated officer is George Herald, who, in his Texas Ranger days, delivered the death shot to Sam Bass in 1878 in Round Rock.
