Das Leben und das traurige Ende von Ken Curtis

The Life and Sad End of Ken Curtis Ken Curtis was born Curtis Wain Gates on July 2, 1916, the youngest of three boys in Lamar, Prowers County, southeastern Colorado. Curtis spent his first ten years on a ranch along Muddy Creek in eastern Bent County. In 1926, the family moved to Las Animas, the county seat of Bent County, so his father, Dan Sullivan Gates, could run for sheriff. The campaign was successful, and Gates served as Bent County Sheriff from 1927 to 1931. Thanks for watching! Enjoy!
