Rod Stellings was an American settler who lived in Tombstone, Arizona Territory during the Wild West era. In 1880, his family was killed and his cattle driven off by the Apache, causing him to harbor intense racism towards Indians. On 3 February 1885, he congratulated Karl Rank on beating down the Apache Tee-A-Hah before he could kill his brother Floyd Rank at a Tombstone saloon, and he later criticized Sheriff Clay Hollister for intervening on Tee-A-Hah's behalf.
