John Kinney Gang Totally Explained

Everything about The John Kinney Gang totally explained

The John Kinney Gang, also known as the Rio Grande Posse, was an outlaw gang of the old West, which operated during the mid-1870's into the mid-1880's. The gang was organized by outlaw John Kinney, in Dona Ana County, New Mexico. From its beginning, the gang primarily committed acts of robbery and cattle rustling. However, they became best known when they were enlisted by the "Murchy-Dolan Faction" during the Lincoln County War, to counter Billy the Kid and his "Regulators". Former gang member Jessie Evans and the Jessie Evans Gang also were enlisted by "Murphy-Dolan". Lincoln County Sheriff George Peppin deputized the gang members to make them "official" during this time. After the war ended, they resumed their previous criminal activities, with some members remaining with the Kinney Gang, while others joined Jessie Evans and his gang, or John Selman's gang. The Kinney Gang ended when John Kinney was arrested, in 1883, for rustling. He was released from prison in 1886, but by that time all former gang members had either disappeared or were dead or in prison. John Kinney didn't return to his former outlaw life, served in the US Army during the Spanish American War, and lived until 1919.
