The six bandits who survived the Northfield raid fled south and west, tending their wounds and eventually abandoning their horses as they evaded hundreds of pursuers. After they slipped through the town of Mankato, they elected to split into two groups. The James brothers, exhausted and hungry but unwounded, separated from the others, stole a pair of horses, and soon made rapid progress. They eventually escaped to Missouri through the Dakota Territory and western Iowa, despite two more clashes that left at least one of them injured. The Younger brothers were captured after the separation; each of them was wounded further in a final gunfight, and Samuel Wells was killed. This composite photo shows the outlaws who were captured or killed.
