Blue Duck (outlaw)

By the early 1870s he was riding with gangs across the Oklahoma Territory committing armed robberies and acts of cattle rustling.

When she married outlaw Sam Starr, she and her husband formed their own gang, which Blue Duck joined.

On June 23, 1884, while riding drunk in the Flint District of the Cherokee Nation, and in the company of outlaw William Christie, the two men came upon a farmer named Samuel Wyrick.

For no apparent reason, the two outlaws opened fire on the farmer, emptying their revolvers into him and killing him.

They then reloaded and fired on a young Cherokee boy who had witnessed the murder, missing him but shooting his horse from beneath him.
