Not Including Indians
 
Many of Masterson’s exploits and involvement in multiple shootouts of the Wild West in the 1870s and 1880s are fully documented, some in sworn court testimony. How many men he killed ranges anywhere from 3 to over 20, not including Native Americans he may have shot in battle.

Indians don't count...

He died sitting at a desk in New York.

People from eastern Michigan consider people from western Michigan to be bumpkins...

I think it's more that killing folks while you're at war doesn't count compared to wild west shootouts that occurred outside of war. It probably has very little to do with the fact that they were American Indians and is more to do with the fact that they were technically "enemy combatants."

"How many men have you killed there pard? Well Hoss, it's 15 or 16 not counting Indians and Mexicans..."
