Early Life
The Caldwell Brothers were born in Caldwell County, Missouri, in the 1850s. Their parents were farmers, and the brothers grew up working on the family farm. However, the brothers were also drawn to a life of crime, and they began robbing and stealing at a young age.
In 1871, the Caldwell Brothers joined a gang of outlaws led by Jesse James. The James-Younger Gang was one of the most notorious gangs in the American West, and the Caldwell Brothers quickly became some of its most trusted members. The gang robbed banks, trains, and stagecoaches, and they killed anyone who got in their way.
The Lincoln County War
In 1878, the Caldwell Brothers became involved in the Lincoln County War, a range war between two rival factions in Lincoln County, New Mexico. The Caldwell Brothers sided with the faction led by Alexander McSween, and they fought against the faction led by Lawrence Murphy. The Lincoln County War was a bloody conflict, and the Caldwell Brothers were responsible for a number of deaths.
The Lincoln County War ended in 1879 with the death of McSween. After McSween's death, the Caldwell Brothers fled New Mexico and went into hiding. However, they were eventually tracked down and killed by lawmen in 1881.
Billy the Kid
Henry "Billy the Kid" Caldwell was the most famous and feared member of the Caldwell Brothers. Billy the Kid was born in New York City in 1859, but he grew up in New Mexico. He began robbing and stealing at a young age, and he quickly became one of the most wanted outlaws in the American West.
Billy the Kid was a skilled gunfighter, and he was responsible for the deaths of many lawmen and civilians. He was also known for his daring escapes from jail. In 1881, Billy the Kid was shot and killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett. He was only 21 years old.
Legacy
The Caldwell Brothers were a notorious gang of outlaws, but they also had a sense of loyalty and honor. They were willing to fight for what they believed in, and they were never afraid to stand up for themselves. The Caldwell Brothers are still remembered today as some of the most legendary outlaws of the American West.
