Dirty Dave Rudabaugh: The Only Man Who Billy the Kid Feared

They say the only man Billy the Kid ever truly feared was Dave Rudabaugh. Legend has it that Dave is the one who taught Doc Holliday how to use a gun. But how true is that? And precisely who was Dave Rudabaugh? Join me today as we attempt to separate fact from fiction. We’ll examine Dave’s short-lived career as a train robber and find out what caused Wyatt Earp to describe him as the "most notorious outlaw in the range country." While we’re at it, we’ll also discuss Rudabaugh’s time as a hired gun for the railroad, his association with Billy the Kid, what it was like being arrested both by Pat Garrett and Bat Masterson, his involvement in the shooting of Morgan and Virgil Earp, and a ton more! We’ll even take a look at his various nicknames. Was it Arkansas Dave or Dirty Dave? Is it true that he killed sixty-five men? Whose gang was it anyway? And what REALLY happened to Dave down in Old Mexico? #wildwest #history #western Check out the website for more true tales from the Old West https://www.wildwestextra.com/ Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/ Buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wildwest Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/ Join Patreon for ad-free and bonus content!   / wildwestextra   Series on Billy the Kid –    • Billy the Kid: Unraveling The Secrets (DOC...   Series on Pat Garrett –    • The Truth About Sheriff Pat Garrett   Dirty Dave Rudabaugh by David G.
