= The Henry Lee Williams Gang =
Henry Lee Williams would establish a group of like minded criminals comprised of highway thieves, cattle rustlers and other petty criminals all in search of infamy and riches in the spring of 1898. The group would quickly find themselves in the sights of local law after a botched caravan robbery leaving 3 of the victims shot dead, 2 of the gang members severely wounded and an abundance of witnesses. The injured gang members would quickly succumb to their injuries forcing Henry to take on two more members to fill up their ranks.
Charles Floyd and Albert Earnest Heartfield, two small time highway thieves, would run into Henry Lee Williams in a backwater saloon and quickly found themselves apart of his gang. Spending the next 6 months running with their crew, they would quickly find themselves looking for a way out as Henry began running the gang into the ground. More botched robberies, brutal slayings with no reward and his looming gambling addiction would result in the gang on the run once again, this time with no one to turn too. Floyd and Heartfield, having built up trust from their fellow gang members would plot to take over, killing Henry Lee Williams in a bid to save themselves before the walls closed in.
Henry Lee Williams would be shot in his sleep by the pair multiple times, leaving him dead. Learning of how the pair killed their former leader, many of the lesser gang members would flee the group in fear for their own lives leaving behind a skeleton crew of criminals with nothing left to lose.
= The Floyd-Heartfield Gang =
[[FHGang1.png |thumb|The early days of The Floyd-Heartfield Gang.]]
THE FLOYD-HEARTFIELD GANG would be established and the pair would move their small gang out east, robbing people in and around towns before finding themselves in the state of Monroe, more specifically New Austin. Seeing the county to be the shining image of the old west, the gang settled down and setup shop.
Having set up a camp just above Tumbleweed, the gang consisting off, Floyd, Heartfield, Marquez, Grover, Yates and Amir began establishing connections in New Austin, opting to take their 'business' to the neighboring county of West Elizabeth to avoid shitting where they ate. Floyd and Heartfield began leading highway robberies, typically in and around Big Valley teaching their newer members the in's and outs of it all before forcing them to lead their own robberies.
As they took more and more, the gang quickly moved into extortion, taking their victims telegrams and names so they could present them with the ability to buy their items back if they so wished. As their antics grew and grew, the gang began focused on extortion as a major way to make money, planning to find isolated businesses and homesteads to fleece of their goods and money on a weekly basis.
Alone, Albert Earnest Heartfield would be confronted by Red Water and a large group of natives at Wallace Station, accusing him of shooting a native lady and attempting to rob her. Red Water, sure of himself in his accusation, offered Albert a deal, his life for his honesty. Believing "honest men don't exist", he continued his lie, of which was partially true. As it would so happen, he had attempted to rob the native lady in question but he was not the man that had shot at her and as a consequence of this lesser wrong, Red Water severed his trigger finger seeing it as a fitting punishment. Being humiliated and having such a major thing taken, Albert would descend into a bitter and hateful man.
During this time, the gang met up with old friends of theirs. Two siblings by the names of Vall and Dash Detara, of which they had met when Henry Lee Williams ran the gang. The siblings would quickly join the small group in their antics from time to time, even hitting the McCoys as a series of revenge hits for the loss of Alberts finger.
