Cabinet Card Photograp of "Little Bill" Raidler , full standing formal studio with photographers backmark, Shackford Farmington NH. Sharp fucus, strong contrast. Bill Raidler, known as "Little Bill" Raidler (1870? - 1904) was an American outlaw of the Old West, and member of the Doolin-Dalton gang. He joined Doolin's gang around 1892. He was involved in numerous bank robberies and train robberies, as well as a number of shootouts with lawmen. On September 6, 1895, Raidler was trailed to a hideout in Oklahoma by Deputy US Marshal Bill Tilghman. Raidler engaged Tilghman and his two deputies in a gunbattle, and was shot in the wrist by Tilghman. As he attempted to flee, Tilghman shot him two more times, once in the back and once in the neck. Raidler survived, and was sentenced to ten years in prison. He was released in ill health in 1903.
