Woman Of The Wild West

These women were also in the search for gold, they would arrive on their own in search of wealth and even for wealthy men.

Besides gold digging, other popular occupations for women were housekeeping, cooking, washing clothes, acting, and dancing.

Texas Jack Vermillion

John Wilson Vermillion, or “Texas Jack,” was one of the legendary gunfighters of the Old West. He was known for searching for outlawed cowboys.

He also went by another name: “Shoot-Your-Eye-Out Vermillion,” because he once shot a man in the eye, so the name sort of stuck.

Jesse James

James was born in Missouri, and he and his brother formed the James-Younger Gang.
