Thomas Theodore Crittenden

Thomas Theodore Crittenden (January 1, 1832–May 29, 1909) was a U.S. army officer and political figure. Born in 1832 in Shelbyville, Kentucky, he served as governor of Missouri from 1881 to 1885 and was the nephew of John J. Crittenden. He died in 1909 in Kansas City, Missouri, and is buried at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Kansas City, Missouri. During the American Civil War he was a Colonel in the 7th Missouri State Militia Cavalry.

Crittenden offered a reward of $10,000 for the capture of Jesse James dead or alive which resulted in Robert Ford killing the outlaw in 1882. In the 2007 movie "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford", Crittenden is portrayed by James Carville.

Crittenden's son Thomas T. Crittenden, Jr. was a mayor of Kansas City.
