Seth Harper

Seth Harper

Seth Harper (c. 1862-1888) was born to catholic parents outside Independence, Missouri in 1862. His father died while he was still a small child, and his mother Ellen was doting but not strict. Seth worked as a ranch hand until he was 16, when he stole four cattle from his employer's ranch and fled west. After continuing cattle rustling for several years, Harper turned to stagecoach robbery around 1880. He was famous for leaving a calling card of a Spade on the bodies of his victims, although he was not a cold-blooded killer like other famous outlaws. In 1884 he joined the Brick and Bullet gang, which participated in several large-scale bank robberies in Kansas and Missouri. He was killed on August 16, 1888 in the famous El Paso shootout when the Brick and Bullet gang was cornered by authorities. He is believed to have killed 12 men.
