The Outlaws of The Wild West could cover a lot of territory for men who traveled mostly by horseback. The one exception was Black Bart, who walked everywhere he went. Click on a name to see the U.S territory each outlaw covered while he was active as an outlaw (some time between 1850 and the early 1900's). When Jesse James started his criminal career in 1866, some of the states we know today didn't even exist. But by 1900, a map of the United States looked pretty much like it does today. In the continental United States, only Oklahoma, Arizona, and New Mexico were left to be admitted to the Union (Alaska and Hawaii were admitted later too).
