David Rudabaugh (July 14, 1854 – February 18, 1886), posthumously nicknamed "Dirty Dave" or "Arkansas Dave", was an American cowboy, outlaw and gunfighter in the American frontier. It is a popular myth that he was known as Dirty Dave because he rarely bathed and wore dirty clothes. In fact, there is no indication he was ever referred to as such during his lifetime, and there are no contemporary sources known to have criticized his hygiene. Furthermore, the sobriquet “Arkansas Dave” was fabricated entirely by film writer John Fusco for the Young Guns 2 (1990) screenplay, because he “thought it sounded good”.
