a.k.a. "Dauntless" Dick Derringer


"Dauntless" Dick Derringer

 "Dauntless" Dick Derringer was born in the Oklahoma territories in 1851.  Just how he got his "Dauntless" appellation is unknown.  He claimed it was that "never shall mountain, beast, nor man detour me."  Those that knew him well claim that it was the TRUTH that never stood in his way.

The professions "Dauntless" attributed to himself were that of cowboy, wrangler, Indian fighter, adventurer, gunfighter, gambler, lawman, and bounty hunter.  The historical record reads as follows: "rustler, horse thief, Indian gunrunner and bootlegger, drifter, rabble rouser and lynch mob instigator, card shark, highwayman, train and bank robber, and wanted fugitive."

Dick Derringer would like to be best remembered as the sire of "Pistol Packin" Crystal's only daughter, Lily "The JEWEL of the WEST" Hangtree.

WANTED: For dealings in the exchange of some cattle to which he didn't have a "Bill of Sale" for and a gunfight of questionable fairness.
