  • ZIP WYATT: the CHEROKEE STRIP OUTLAW by Michael Koch
    ZIP WYATT: THE CHEROKEE STRIP OUTLAW by Michael Koch One of the most well known outlaws of the Territory of Oklahoma was Zip Wyatt, also known as Dick Yeager and Wild Charlie. The outlaw was born Nathaniel Ellsworth Wyatt in the year of 1864 or 1868. Some writers have listed his first name as Nelson and the exact date of birth or location is unknown. He was probably born in Indiana. His father, John T. Wyatt, served in the war between the states in the 85th Indiana Volunteers. He married Rachel J. Quick, then just 16 years of age, in Clay County, Indiana in 1860. Their first born was known as "Six Shooter Jack" and was apparently an expert gambler. Jack Wyatt was killed over a gambling table at Texline, Texas in 1891. In all, 8 children were born to the family, seven boys and one girl named Mollie. The family appears to have moved around a lot and lived in seven states before settling on Antelope Creek on Cowboy Flats northeast of Guthrie, Oklahoma Territory in 1889. Nathaniel's parents were poor and almost illiterate. Young Wyatt acquired the nickname of Zip from a man named Myers who lived near Ft. Smith, Arkansas. Two of the children of John and Rachel attended the Victory school in what is now Logan County, Oklahoma. Zip's mother, Rachel Wyatt, died on February 3rd, 1890 on their farm fourteen miles northeast of Guthrie. The next year, Zip married Annie Bailey near Mulhall, Oklahoma. Zip and Annie had one child, a girl. Wyatt Becomes a Killer On June 3, 1891 Zip shot up the town of Mulhall and wounded two citizens.
