A compilation of the colorful names that appear on Ghost Cowboy.

El Renegado, the Yaqui Indian chief who never liked a man he didn’t saw.

California Dan met an inglorious end at the hands of Yaqui Indians who sawed off his feet, “just above the ankles.”

Flopping Bill led a group of 60 cowboys hunting horse thieves north of the Missouri River.

Kep Queen was tracked and shot by a posse in Indian Territory. Queen spent the time between the shooting and his death in praying and cursing.
