Buckskin Frank Leslie
Nashville Franklyn Leslie (March 18, 1842 - after 1920) was a U.S. Army scout, gambler, bartender, rancher, miner, and gunfighter and con-man. He was known for his fringed buckskin jacket. He became famous in Tombstone, Arizona for killing two men in self-defense. He married the widow of one of his victims eight days after killing her husband. Following their divorce, Leslie later shot and killed a woman he lived with at his ranch while drunk and in a fit of jealousy. He was sentenced to life in prison but only served six years before he was pardoned. He was last listed in the U.S. Federal Census on January 27, 1920 in Sausalito, California. No public records of him have been found after this date and it's not known when he died.
== Early life ==
"Buckskin Frank" Leslie, in an 1886 application for employment, wrote "I, Nashville Franklyn Leslie, was born near San Antonio, Texas on the 18th day of March 1842 and am now a resident of Tombstone, Arizona and have been a resident of Arizona for nine years."〔''Register of Customs Employees at Small Ports'', Vol. 4, No. 6. Letter from the Collector of Customs, El Paso, Texas to Secretary of the Treasury, enclosing Nashville Franklyn Leslie's application for employment dated March 10, 1886. National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C〕 A conflicting account, printed in the ''Tombstone Daily Prospector'' on July 15, 1889, stated that Leslie was born Galveston, Texas in 1842 where he supposedly grew up. His father's name was alleged to be "Thomas Kennedy" while his mother was "Martha Leslie." This version goes on to say that he took his mother's last name as his after a falling out with his father.〔 So far no documentation has been found that would support the claims made by the ''Tombstone Daily Prospector''.〔DeMattos, Jack. ''Buckskin Frank Leslie Revealed'', Wild West History Association Journal, Vol III, No. 3, June 2015, pp. 4-5 and 19〕 Finally, Leslie gave information on November 6, 1913 stating he was born in Texas, that his father, "Bernard Leslie," was born in Virginia and that his mother, "Martha Leslie," was born in Kentucky.〔California State Board of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics. Certificate of Marriage No. 14014938 - Nashville F. Leslie to Elnora Cast, November 6, 1913.〕
