Jack Gordon (1822–1864), original name, Peter Worthington, renegade, outlaw, in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Later moving to California he became a member of the Mason Henry Gang.
Peter Worthington a son of a well known Virginia family, who at the age of 17 killed a man and left home, changing his name. He went to Texas and New Mexico Territory, where he became known as a white renegade, "Apache Jack" Gordon, who lived with the Chiricahua Apache for several years. He was said to have shot and wounded Captain Enoch Steen during an encounter between Apaches under Mangas Coloradas and Steen's detachment of Company H, U.S. 1st Dragoons at the Santa Rita Copper Mines on August 16, 1849. Jack was also known as a gunfighter, who murdered, robbed, rustled cattle as well as doing some legitimate work. It was said he was a smart man that kept his dealings quiet but would shoot to kill upon the slightest provocation.
By the 1860s Jack was in California, living near Tulare Lake and lived with and may have 'married' an Indian woman there. He found a lost female Indian child named Chescott and she lived with him in Tailholt, Tulare County, until his death. In 1864, he joined the Mason-Henry Gang. However he fell out with his business partner Samuel Groupie over a hog raising enterprise. In an ensuing gunfight, Samuel was wounded but survived and was later cleared of murder. Jack was also wounded fatally and while dying arranged to have Chescott live with the Levi Mitchell family and gave his entire estate to her. Jack then died several hours later on December 14, 1864. He was buried on the side of a hill in the Tailholt Boot Hill Cemetery, near White River, Tulare County, California. Chescot is buried near him.

Plot: Roy, the proprietor of a dude ranch where Gabby is working as a hired hand. Dale is a photojournalist working for "Spread" magazine sent from New York to investigate a long-dead highwayman by the name of "Wildcat" Kelly. After finding out, by snooping around the ranch, that Gabby is in fact "Wildcat" Kelly, she publishes her findings in the magazine and Gabby is shot. Word is put out that Gabby died of the gunshot and a funeral is arranged. During the lying in state, Dale hides near the casket and photographs all the mourners as they pass by the casket. After the ceremony, Gabby reviews all the photos and picks out the man he saw shot him. By means of a description of the kill supplied to the local sheriff the suspected killer is traced to a local nightclub called the Westward Ho. Roy and the Sons of the Pioneers get a job entertaining at the club to try to locate and build a case against the gunman. By having Gabby make an appearance at the club and scaring the gunman into going to his boss, they find that he was working for the club's owner, one Henry Bennett. Bennett sends his gunman away until things quiet down. Later a gunshot is heard and Bennett announces that his assistant (the gunman) has been killed with what is discovered to be "Wildcat" Kelly's gun. The police seal off the club and discover Gabby hiding in one of the rooms. The final resolution comes about that Bennett a.k.a. Benson had claimed the reward for "Wildcat" Kelly through illicit means and had killed a man who could connect him to the wrongfully obtained reward. Bennett then had the man's body buried in the coffin which had contained a sandbag in place of "Wildcat's" body. "Wildcat" Kelly, never having been killed in the first place, was only trying to avoid being prosecuted for past crimes by means of faking his own death. In the end, Gabby is found innocent and Bennett convicted of murder and his club ceased and sold at auction and thereafter bought by Roy.
