This is all I have on him.
In 1894 accompanied by Buss Luckey, Tom Root, Bill Smith, and a couple others, held up a Missouri Pacific train near Muskogee in the Cherokee Nation having been told that $60,000 was in the express car.
The gang was driven off when Deputy U.S. Marshal "Bud" Ledbetter and three deputies opened fire from within the express car.
A shot up Texas Jack slithered back into Arkansas where he was later arrested. Texas Jack was paroled in 1897 having seen the light preaching a warning for folks not to follow his example.
He later appeared in a show called " Texas Jack, Train Robber," and sold Seventy Thousand copies of " The Live of Texas Jack."
Nathaniel Reed, AkA. Texas Jack died in 1950 in Tulsa Oklahoma.
