About Clay Allison

  • Robert Clay Allison (September 2, 1841 – July 3, 1887) was a cattle rancher, cattle broker, and sometimes gunfighter of the American Old West.
  • He fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War.
  • Allison had a reputation for violence, having survived several one-on-one knife and gunfights (some with lawmen), as well as being implicated in a number of vigilante jail break-ins and lynchings.
  • A drunken Allison once rode his horse through town nearly naked—wearing only his gunbelt.
  • Later most reports stated that he was not only dangerous to others but himself accidentally shooting himself in the foot.
