The Dalton Gang was an American outlaw gang of the Wild West which was active from 21 March 1890 to 6 October 1892. It was founded by the lawmen-turned-rustlers Bob, Grat, Bill, and Emmett Dalton of Pawhuska, Indian Territory, and they eventually moved onto robbing banks, stagecoaches, and trains. The gang chiefly operated in Kansas and present-day Oklahoma, and Bob and Grat were killed in the failed Coffeyville bank robbery in Kansas in October 1892. Bill Dalton went on to cofound the Dalton-Doolin Gang with Bill Doolin.
