  • The wild west is a famous period in American history for many reasons. Wagon trails, gold prospecting, ghost towns, and constant conflicts are all pure symbols of life on the western frontier. Most representative of the time period, however, are outlaws and the countless criminals plaguing the western frontier with violence and calamity at every turn. For the most part, no wagon, caravan, train, nor horseback rider was safe in the open, untamed lands of the American West, often due to the high risk of running into cattle rustlers, banditos, and other slick outlaws staking their claim to fame, or rather, infamy, on the vistas of the frontier.
    A good portion of the stories about desperados and the criminals of the old west center on the wreckless “profession” of being an outlaw. While it makes sense in regards to the culture and lifestyle of westward expansion in the 19th century, it’s still surprising how many men and women gave up lawful tendencies to retreat into the land of outlaws. As an effort to dive deeper into the lives of old west criminals and the origins of their misdeeds, here is the next video in a series detailing infamous men and women of the wild west, who acted as outlaws in the heyday of scum and villainy on the western frontier. Introducing… William Brocius, better known as Curly Bill, and one of the most infamous yet feared outlaws in not just Arizona, but in all the wild west.

    The kurt russel film Tombstone isn't too far from the truth then. I think it's a great movie with some great actors.
    Nice to know the real truth though.

    I've been curious about Curly Bill for a long time. The name Brocius in all its various spellings in in my maternal family tree. My 3rd great grandfather was a Brosius, I have a photo of my great grandfather and if the photo in this video of William Brocius is really him, they could be related. The same facial shape, longish, and the nose and forehead. Thanks for this video.

    In addition to Brocius being born in Indiana another notorious character born in Indiana just 5 yrs. after Brocius was Johnny Ringo. Ringo was born in Greens Fork Indiana in 1850. Also the very 1st recorded train robbery was performed by the Reno Gang near Seymour Indiana.
