Murderer or innocent man? If someone had asked me a year ago who Ned Christie was, I\u2019d have probably said he was just another Indian Territory outlaw. In the same vein as Cherokee Bill or Henry Starr. And I don\u2019t think I\u2019m the only person out there with this misconception. Back in the 1970\u2019s Time Life put out a series of books on the old west. And I personally have \u2013 in my possession - a copy of the one titled Gunfighters. I\u2019ve had it since I was a wee little lad, and it has seen better days. The pages are no longer bound, they\u2019re all loose and out of order. A testament to the countless hours I spent flipping through its pages when I was a kid.   There are a couple of pictures of Ned Christie in the book. There\u2019s the one when he was still alive - long hair, holding a rifle in one hand, a revolver in the other, and another pistol strapped around his waist.  Looking like an outlaw. And then there\u2019s the other one, where he\u2019s dead. Propped up against a door, lever action rifle resting in his lifeless hands. There\u2019s not a whole lot written in the book about Ned Christie, though. He\u2019s simply referred to as an \u201celusive Cherokee outlaw who roved the territory as a train robber, horse thief, and whiskey peddler. Christie had built himself a log fort high on the rim of the cliff sided canyon, and when a 16-man posse tracked him there, he showed no inclination to surrender.\u201d That was really the extent of my knowledge when it came to Ned Christie. That and the pictures. But what if I were to tell you that almost everything that was published about Ned Christie in that Time Life book was untrue? Join me today as we look at just who the real Ned Christie was and try to separate the man from the myth on this most recent Indian Outlaw, 100% Cherokee and zero Choctaw, & nobody\u2019s baby was a Chippewa edition of Bloody Beaver Podcast.
