The Dalton Boys were born into a poor family in Missouri, and they grew up in a rough and tumble environment. Their father was a farmer and their mother was a devout Christian.

As teenagers, they began to get into trouble with the law, and they were eventually forced to leave home.

The Dalton Boys eventually made their way to Indian Territory, where they joined up with a group of outlaws led by Jesse James. James was one of the most famous outlaws in the West, and he took the Dalton Boys under his wing. He taught them how to rob banks and trains, and he also showed them how to avoid capture.
