on February 6, 1895 while trying to rob a store in Catoosa, Oklahoma, but there is nothing to indicate that this man was the Jim French of the Lincoln County War.

Timid and clumsy, the film's portrayal of French, by actor Alan Ruck bears little actual resemblance to either outlaw. References Bibliography Billy the Kid: A Short and Violent Life, by Robert M.
