From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the Texan outlaw gang. For other uses of Mother Mercy Gang, see Mother Mercy (film) and The Infamous Mother Mercy Gang: Without a Trace (book).

The Mother Mercy Gang was a communist outlaw group primarily operating out of varying hideouts on Emory Peak near Terlingua, Texas. They are thought to have been led by Treacle Whitlock until his sudden and mysterious disappearance in the late 1860s, whereafter his closest friend Sweetie Abrahams took over. The group were among the most notorious outlaws in the old west and are credited with many crimes, including the politically motivated assassination of influential prospector G.H. Stanton.
