Jump to
Augustine Chacon (1861 - November 21, 1902), or El Peludo (English: "The Hairy One"), was a Mexican outlaw and folk hero of Arizona Territory. Although a self-proclaimed badman, he was well liked by settlers, who treated him as a Robin Hood-like character, rather than a typical raider. According to Old West historian Marshall Trimble, Chacon was "one of the last of the hard-riding desperados who rode the owl-hoot trail in Arizona around the turn of the century." He was considered extremely dangerous to authorities, having killed about thirty people before being captured by Burton C. Mossman and hanged.
