Rube Burrow, was a train-robber and outlaw during the final years of the American frontier, he became one of the most hunted since Jesse James. From 1886 to 1890, he and his gang robbed trains in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, the Indian Territory and Texas while pursued by hundreds of lawmen including the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Burrow would continue to elude authorities in the wilderness of Alabama hill country for another two years. Rube Burrow was captured by two black men, Jesse Hildreth and Frank Marshall, with the help of two white planters, John McDuffie and Jeff "Dixie" Carter, at George Ford’s cabin,Marengo County, Alabama on Dec 7, 1890. McDuffie had suspected Burrow would be in the area and warned Hildreth to be on the lookout. When Burrow showed up at Ford's cabin, Hildreth was inside and was able to get word back to McDuffie. Hildreth and Marshall jumped Burrow and held him for McDuffie and Carter. They took him to the jail in Linden, Alabama, with Burrow entertaining them all the way with funny stories. Rube offered Hildreth a hundred dollars if he would let him go. Hildreth said "I couldn't use it then, cause you'd kill me first". December 8, 1890, Burrow complained of hunger and talked his jailers into handing him his bag, which had some ginger snaps inside. It also contained a gun, and Burrow held it at the head of one of the guards. He escaped, locking two guards (including McDuffie) in his cell, and taking another guard with him to find Carter at Glass's store to get back money that had been taken from him, Carter was in the store, and when he came outside, he and Burrow exchanged gunfire,when the smoke cleared Burrow was dead in the street and Carter was wounded.Rube Burrow’s body was shipped by train to Lamar County. On a stop in Birmingham, thousands viewed the corpse and people snatched buttons from his coat cut hair from his head, and even his boots were stolen. Burrow's father Allen Burrow met the train in Sulligent. It was reported that the train attendants threw the coffin at his feet. "It is Rube," he said.
