William Doolin (1858–August 24, 1896) was an American bandit outlaw and founder of the Wild Bunch, sometimes known as the Doolin-Dalton Gang. Like the earlier Dalton Gang alone, it specialized in robbing banks, trains, and stagecoaches in Arkansas, Kansas, Indiana, and Oklahoma during the 1890s.
When the Daltons are killed at Coffeyville, KS, gang member Bill Doolin, arriving late, escapes but kills a man in self defence. Now wanted for murder, he becomes the leader of the Doolin gang. He eventually leaves the gang, marries and tries to start a new life under a new name.
Bill Doolin was a Western outlaw who led a gang through robberies in Oklahoma and east Texas, 1892–95. A member of the Dalton brothers gang, he alone missed the bloody ambush of the Coffeyville, Kan., bank robbery (Oct. 5, 1892); his horse had pulled lame long before reaching town.
