"Ned Huddleston (Also known as Isom Dart) 1849-1900.

Was a mild mannered,laid back gentleman outlaw who never shot anyone during his regin as an outlaw he just threatened to shoot instead.He was born in Arkansas taking the name Huddleston from his owner.During the civil war 1860-1865 from the age of eleven and onwards Isom served confederate officers as servant and general hand.Working as a cook,nurse and scout.He was sixteen years old when the civil war and slavery ended,and decided to make his bid for a new life,so he packed up and went off to the Texas.In Texas he got a job on a ranch and learned how to ride a horse and later to handle a gun.His skill at horse riding was excellent and it is said that he had a natural talent for handing them. Later he became a horse trainer and rider in Mexico and it was whilst in Mexico that he fell in with some Mexican bandits.Dart rode with them,stealing horses and driving them across the Rio Grande and into Texas to deliver them on a pre ordered arrangement with crooked land owners.It is thought that he trained the horses that were used by the Wild Bunch alias Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid  and their gang.He also trained horses not to be afraid of gunfire, which is useful if you are an outlaw!Isom later formed his own gang,specifically for horse stealing and it became known as The Gault Gang,their hideout and base camp was in Browns Park in North West Colorado. He had several successful trips selling stolen horses but one day in 1875 his luck took a bad turn.Several lawmen planned to ambush the Tip Gault Gang and kill or arrest its leader.The gang had stolen some horses belonging to Margaret Anderson's ranch south of Saratoga,Wyming.Later at night whilst the gang were huddled around a camp fire the lawmen engaged in the shootout,every gang member was shot dead around the campfire except Ned,who is thought played dead from the first gunshot.Isom spent a very unpleasant night hiding amongst the unburied blood bespattered dead bodies of his gang,a few hours later near sun up he rifled through their pockets and looted money belts,hidden guns,and anything else he could find before he escaped on foot.Isom didn't get far though as he was later shot wounded by a rancher whilst attempting to steal a horse from a stable.He now knew how close he had come to death for the second time and out of desperation he quickly stole another horse,saddled up and rode to Oklahoma to lie low for a while,there that he changed his name to Isom Dart.
