In his 14-year career as stagecoach robber and horse thief, Dick Fellows displayed both tremendous daring and shocking ineptitude. His story of triumphs and travails made him a household name throughout California.
He was born George Brittain Lyttle in Kentucky in the mid-1840s. He studied law for a time but succumbed to alcoholism and made his way to California in the late 1860s where he took the name Dick Fellows.
Okay, you got me. I was trying to figure out what type of folks would call themselves The "Bandit Dick" Fellows until I realized it was The Bandit "Dick Fellows". Guess I am getting older and a tad more feeble in my dotage.
