  • Nathaniel "Texas Jack" Reed (March 23, 1862 – January 7, 1950) was a 19th-century American outlaw responsible for many stagecoach, bank, and train robberies throughout the American Southwest during the 1880s and '90s. He acted on his own and also led a bandit gang, operating particularly in the Rocky Mountains and Indian Territory. Reed is claimed to have been the last survivor of the "47 most notorious outlaws" of Indian Territory. He became an evangelist in his later years, and could often be seen on the streets of Tulsa preaching against the dangers of following a "life of crime". His memoirs were published in the 1930s, and are considered valuable collectors' items (one copy was reportedly sold on the internet for $1,500 in 2007). He claimed to have ridden with the Dalton gang, Bill Doolin, Henry Starr and other outlaws and bandits of the old west. He may have also helped Cherokee Bill, a fellow outlaw from the Indian Territory, in his escape from Fort Smith during the 1880s. As with many others of the era, Reed's colorful stories of his almost 10-year career as an outlaw were probably exaggerated by later writers. He claimed to have ridden briefly with the Daltons, and participated in their dual bank robberies in Coffeyville in 1892, as well as in the infamous 1893 gunfight at Ingalls. However, there is no corroborating evidence that he was involved in either of those events. (en)
  • Nathaniel Reed, noto anche con lo pseudonimo di Texas Jack (St. Paul, 23 marzo 1862 – Tulsa, 7 gennaio 1950), è stato un criminale e pistolero statunitense. Nell'arco dell'ultimo ventennio del XIX secolo compì svariate rapine nei territori del southwest americano, tra le quali spicca l'assalto del treno Katy al deviatoio ferroviario di Blackstone, episodio in cui rimase gravemente ferito. Dopo mesi di latitanza senza ricevere cure mediche professionali, decise di consegnarsi alla giustizia e di collaborare con essa in un processo che portò allo smantellamento di un'organizzazione criminale del Vecchio West. Dedicò il resto della propria vita come uomo libero spostandosi con una carovana tra i principali insediamenti dell'Oklahoma, e predicando ai giovani l'importanza di vivere nel rispetto della legge. Trascrisse le proprie memorie in un'autobiografia intitolata "La vita di Texas Jack" e partecipò a sporadiche rievocazioni sul Vecchio West, venendo annunciato al pubblico come "Texas Jack, rapinatore di treni". Lo pseudonimo "Texas Jack" gli fu attribuito dalla cronaca d'epoca, che ritenette erroneamente essere stato il fuorilegge John Oberland "Texas Jack" Vermillion il plausibile assalitore di una banca messicana rapinata in realtà da Nathaniel Reed. Texas Jack Reed si spense di anzianità ad 87 anni senza lasciare eredi. È considerato l'ultimo sopravvissuto dei 47 fuorilegge più temuti del Territorio indiano. Le sue gesta hanno ispirato il film canadese in cui viene interpretato dall'attore statunitense Trace Adkins. (it)
