William McWaters

William McWaters (ca. 1844–1875) was an American gunfighter from Missouri who once rode with William Clarke Quantrill. Though not as well known today as the likes of the James-Younger Gang, McWaters did belong to that fraternity of dangerous men spawned by the Kansas-Missouri border wars and American Civil War.

    Missouri, Kansas and what is now east Oklahoma were rough places before, during and after 1861-65 fracas. "The Autobiography of Samuel S. Hildebrand" gives a good account, as does "Woe to Live On," and the movie version, "Ride with the Devil."
