David Rudabaugh (July 14, 1854 – February 18, 1886) was a cowboy, outlaw and gunfighter in the American Old West. Modern writers often refer to him as "Dirty Dave"[1] because of his alleged aversion to water, though no evidence has emerged to show that he was ever referred to as such in his own lifetime.
