Being a Cowboy, in memory of Deputy Garrett I made it a "crusade" to do more research after viewing this site a year ago. For you fellow historians:

Deputy Garrett was murdered by The Rufus Buck Gang - a ruthless outlaw multlti-racial gang of mixed-blood Negroes and Creek Indians who operated in the Indian Territory of the Arkansas – Oklahoma Territory area. They committed a spree of robbery, pillage, and rape in several states from 1895 to 1896.

With the desire to become known as the most famous outlaws in the Wild West, Buck allegedly boasted that “his outfit would make a record that would sweep all the other gangs of the territory into insignificance."

Following their eventual arrest and unsuccessful appeal to the Supreme Court, "Hanging Judge Issac Parker" sentenced them to execution by hanging. (Note: This was the second to last execution to occur at Fort Smith.)

Deputy Garrett:
May Your Soul Rest - In - Peace.

Sometimes, stories are told about guys like "Deadeye Dick" and others who were on the wrong side of the law. However, except for the "Buffalo Soldiers," rarely is there any mention of the Black Cowboys who proudly wore the badge and made the ultimate sacrifice.

Deputy Marshal Garrett:

Thank You for helping to pave the way for so many others. May You Rest-In-Peace.
