Harry Tracy (1871-1902)

A peaceful Ozark farmer named Harry Tracy turned to banditry and became one of the most wanted fugitives of his era, evading lawmen across multiple states through sheer ruthlessness and cunning. Hunted relentlessly for his crimes, Tracy's life as a fugitive eventually came to an end when he was cornered in a wheat field.
