Buck English

Buck English (1855 – January 15, 1915) was an American Old West outlaw, and one of Lake County, California's most notorious thieves and stagecoach robbers toward the end of the 19th century.

[clarification needed] Unlike Black Bart, Lake County's other notorious thief, Buck was rash and openly flaunted his overconfident capacity.

The local newspaper later said, "Shortly before this robbery, he and his companion met four Chinese miners coming down from the Great Western Mine (near Middletown), and robbed them of their watches and money."

In another unrelated incident, Buck shot and killed a man in the Middletown skating rink, turning the arena into a scene of pandemonium.

It was not long before he held up the stage at the foot of Mount Saint Helena, near the summer home of the mayor of San Francisco.

The two robbers were armed with old style Colt revolvers, and he cursed at everyone, especially the ChinamenThe capture of Buck by Sheriff Bell reads like a Wild West novel.

Although he was arrested for his robberies and attacks on the general population, Buck had his hands in many other criminal activities, including cattle rustling, which he served less than a year in jail for.
