Otto Wood (1894 – December 31, 1930) was a Depression-era desperado, born in Wilkes County, North Carolina in 1894.
He was subsequently sentenced to serve on a chain gang, but the foreman sent him home to his mother due to his age.
There, his kinfolk (the McCoy-feuding Hatfields) taught him how to gamble, make illegal whiskey, and fight.
He suffered from a foot ailment due to a birth defect, and lost his left hand when he was a teenager.
He was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to serve 30 years in the Central Prison in Raleigh, North Carolina.
