NOT based on historic figures

Imdb trivia says so, as do many 10* reviews. People are triggered by the 1* reviews that say not true. The movie just appropriates real people's names.

Nat Love was a cowboy, not an outlaw. He met some outlaws once. Settled down and became a rail porter. Wrote a decent autobiography.

Mary Fields worked for a Ursuline convent in Toledo. After that delivered mail by stagecoach. Never associated with outlaws. She was a big momma who worked and dressed like a man! https://www.nps.gov/people/mary-fields.htm

The Rufus Buck Gang were evil motherfuckers who went a six day crime spree. Were arrested shortly and sentenced to hang. Never got out of jail! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufus_Buck_Gang
