George "Red Buck" Waightman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George "Red Buck" Waightman (1868? - October 2nd, 1895) was an Old West outlaw, and member of the Doolin-Dalton gang.
Waightman is believed to have been born in Texas, but that has never been confirmed. He is known to have been a cowboy prior to meeting Bill Doolin and Bill Dalton in 1892. He joined their gang shortly thereafter, taking part in numerous bank robberies and train robberies over the next three years. By 1894, however, US Marshals were hot on the gangs trail, and several members had been captured or killed. The gang split up to make things more difficult for the Marshals. Waightman was eventually tracked down, on October 2nd, by Deputy US Marshal Chris Madsen, and in the ensuing shootout Waightman was killed.
