Harry Tracy (1871-1902)

Jo, a quiet farmer in the Ozarks, suddenly turned to crime, becoming a notorious outlaw who killed a state marshal and fled across multiple states. After years on the run, he was finally tracked down while applying for farm work, cornered in a wheat field, and died by his own hand when his ammunition ran out.
