<p>James Riley, alias Doc Middleton (ca. 1851–1913), was a notorious horse thief and murderer, a respectable businessman, a winner with the women, and an open-handed benefactor of the unfortunate. As a wanted man, Middleton concealed his past at every turn, burned incriminating letters, threw out red-herring tales, and lived under a dozen names. Because he was so hard to pin down and round up, a Cheyenne newspaper called him "the luckiest outlaw who ever infested the western frontier." Harold Hutton, a rancher on the Niobrara River, deep in "Doc Middleton country," has written the definitive biography of this Great Plains Robin Hood.</p>
