Roscoe "Rustling Bob" Bryant


Roscoe "Rustling Bob" Bryant was a member of the John Kinney Gang during New Mexico's Lincoln County War. He was killed by members of Selman's Scouts near Seven Rivers, New Mexico in September, 1878.
Lincoln County Regulators were preparing an assault on the Modocs, and alongside forty men, including Roscoe Bryant, all fought at the Modoc War. On 18 August they rode up to the Feliz and helped themselves to Tunstall's cattle.
He participated in the Five Day Siege of the McSween house and was later involved with John Selman's cattle rustling operation.
His body was found near Reese Gobly and James Irvin, presumably murdered by their fellows.
