   • Virtually nothing is known about the truth of Tom Horn’s early years. Only the broad strokes of Horn’s early days are known. He was born in Scotland County, Missouri in 1860, and at14, he left home for Santa Fe.
   • The first action Tom Horn was known to be in was at Sierra Enmedio. Tom Horn’s first undeniable action was the Tupper-Rafferty Enmedio fight in 1882.
   • Tom Horn was involved in the Pleasant Valley War, but it is unclear how. After Geronimo’s surrender, Horn was discharged, since there was no more need for him in the army.
