(Rugged tone of voice)
Two members of the Glanton Gang are named John Jackson, one caucasian, the other african american. Bathcat bets that the colored will kill the white, which does indeed come to pass when the white drives the colored away from a campfire around which are seated only white men.Although the family of magicians foretells that the colored Jackson can begin his life anew and change his fate - and despite a failed attempt to desert the gang - the colored Jackson stays the course of ruthless violence.

He murders the proprietor of an eating-house in Tucson, Owens, and seems to have become something of a disciple of The Judge toward the end of his life, even imitating The Judge’s garb, “a mantle of freeflowing cloth.”

The colored Jackson is killed by the Yumas who raid the gang’s ferry and nearby fortifications on the Colorado River.
