Nathaniel Reed
Nathaniel "Texas Jack" Reed (March 23, 1862 – January 7, 1950) was a 19th-century American outlaw responsible for many stagecoach, bank, and train robberies throughout the American Southwest during the 1880s and '90s. He acted on his own and also led a bandit gang, operating particularly in the Rocky Mountains and Indian Territory.
Reed is claimed to have been the last survivor of the ''"47 most notorious outlaws"'' of Indian Territory.〔Haile, Bartee. ("This Week in Texas: Old West relic dies in his sleep" ), ''Diboll Free Press'', January 2, 2008. Accessed June 3, 2008. "Texas Jack started the new century by turning over a new leaf. Trading his sixguns for a Bible, he preached the gospel as an itinerant evangelist."〕 He became an evangelist in his later years, and could often be seen on the streets of Tulsa preaching against the dangers of following a "life of crime".〔〔"TEXAS JACK, 87, ONCE SOUTHWEST OUTLAW", ''The New York Times'', January 9, 1950. "The penitent badman then became an evangelist and toured the country with a wagon and team of horses"〕 His memoirs were published in the 1930s, and are considered valuable collectors' items (one copy was reportedly sold on the internet for $1,500 in 2007).〔 He claimed to have ridden with the Dalton gang, Bill Doolin, Henry Starr and other outlaws and bandits of the old west. He may have also helped Cherokee Bill, a fellow outlaw from the Indian Territory, in his escape from Fort Smith during the 1880s.〔
As with many others of the era, Reed's colorful stories of his almost 10-year career as an outlaw were probably exaggerated by later writers.〔 He claimed to have ridden briefly with the Daltons, and participated in their dual bank robberies in Coffeyville in 1892, as well as in the infamous 1893 gunfight at Ingalls. However, there is no corroborating evidence that he was involved in either of those events.〔
