Charlie Bowdre
Charles Bowdre (c. 1848 – December 23, 1880) was an American cowboy and outlaw. He was an associate of Billy the Kid and member of his gang. Early life Bowdre was born in Wilkes County, Georgia in 1848, the firstborn child of Albert and Lucy Bowdre. When he was three years old, he and his parents moved to DeSoto County, Mississippi, where they had six more children (Eppie in 1854, Sallie in 1855, Volney and Benjamin in 1857, William in 1863 and Lucy Lee in 1863). By 1854, young Charlie started working in his father's farm, and as he grew up became an adept farmer. Much of what Bowdre did between the year in which his last sister was born (1863) and 1874 remains a mystery. It is believed, however, that he abandoned the family's farm to become a wanderer. He left home sometimes around 1870, and records show that by 1874, he had arrived at Lincoln County, New Mexico. Bowdre became friends with Doc Scurlock during this time, and the two men opened a cheese factory on the Gila ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
