Francis Augustus Hamer (1884-1955) was the lawman who led the 1934 posse that tracked down and killed Bonnie and Clyde. As the City Marshal of Navasota, he cleaned up a lawless boomtown where shootouts had been common on the main street and where, in two years, at least a hundred men had died. Hamer was wounded 17 times during his life and left for dead four times. He is credited with having killed up 70 desperados and outlaws.
