Wood Hite

Robert Woodson "Wood" Hite (1850 – December 4, 1881) was an outlaw and cousin of Frank and Jesse James. He was a member of the James-Younger gang, participating in a number of robberies and other crimes. He was shot dead by Robert Ford during a gunfight with Ford's friend Dick Liddil. The death of Hite precipitated the series of events that culminated in the killing of Jesse James by Ford.

  1. Hite did not take an opportunity to make up for bad decisions made as a young man, nor turn his life around, nor become an example for yutes in his community. Some people are just bad.
