“Bronco Bill” Walters might have started out his life as a cowboy and a railroader, but he soon found a more lucrative future as a train and stagecoach robber.
William E. Walters, aka: Bill Anderson, Billy Brown, Bronco Billy was born at Fort Sill, Indian Territory (Oklahoma) in 1869. When he grew up, he first worked as a cowboy and later as a section hand on the Santa Fe Railroad. However, as he neared his thirties, he turned gunman and bandit in Arizona, at one point joining the Black Jack Ketchum Gang.

Got a relative who may have ridden with him. He rode with Black Jack Ketchum's gang when they robbed a train at Stein's Pass, New Mexico.
ReplyDeleteI think he got shot or hung by a posse. I forget which.
