The Laramie Gang was an American outlaw gang of the Wild West which was active during the early 1900s. Named for its founding location of Laramie, Wyoming, the Laramie Gang was paid by rich families looking to buy more land, intimidating small landowners into selling their land to large ranchers. The gang was one of many criminal outfits hired by large corporations such as the Wyoming Stock Growers Association to attack small farms and independent ranches, but its reign of terror in Wyoming and Colorado was brought to an end in 1907 when a group of three ranch hands from Pronghorn Ranch (including the former gunslinger John Marston) attacked the gang's hideout at Hanging Dog Ranch and killed its leader Steven Boggs and most of his hired guns. Afterwards, the gang no longer harassed Pronghorn Ranch, but its members periodically reoccupied Hanging Dog Ranch.
