Cullen Baker

Though born in Tennessee, Baker and his family moved to Texas when he was four. In 1854, Baker shot and killed a man then left for Arkansas. Serving in the Confederate and Union armies, Baker deserted both. After the War, Baker returned to Texas (near Cass County) where his reign of terror continued.

In 1869 Baker was killed in Arkansas. He was gunned down by four men while eating his lunch along a roadside. On his body was found four pistols, three derringers, six knives and one shotgun.
