I enjoyed Keith Carradine's portrayal of the character in the Starz series.

Prestonage This is an old question and I've only read the first 80 pages or so of the novel, but thus far:

Buffalo Hump (https://bit.ly/2NgwiUV)

Glanton (https://bit.ly/1oVcQQX)

Kirker (https://bit.ly/2wg3MfD0)

are all based upon real life figures.
