L. H. Musgrove

Lewis H. Musgrave (1832 – November 23, 1868), known later in life as L. H. Musgrove, was an outlaw in the American Old West. Beginning in 1864, he led the Musgrove Gang, who stole government livestock throughout Wyoming, Colorado and the surrounding western states and territories. Musgrave was eventually caught and brought to Denver, Colorado, where he was taken by a group of citizens and hung from the Larimer Street Bridge on November 26, 1868. A detailed account of Musgrave’s criminal activities, capture, and hanging appeared in a memoir by the City Marshal of Denver, David J. Cook.
