Pete Burleson (September 4, 1848 – December 6, 1925) was a cattle drover and rancher, western lawman, farmer and pioneer in the New Mexico Territory and State of New Mexico. He drove cattle from Texas as part of the 1870's I. W. Lacy - L. G. Coleman cattle drive, settling in northeast New Mexico as a cattle rancher near Cimarron. He was elected sheriff of Colfax County (1877–1871), serving in this capacity during the bloodiest part of the Colfax County War (1873–1888). In his tenure as sheriff and as a resident of Cimarron, he was close friends with several notorious cowboys including Clay Allison and David John (Davy) Crockett. Burleson was also a deputy sheriff in Colfax County and Lincoln County for seven different sheriffs, his last appointment coming at age 63. Western writers Eugene Manlove Rhodes and Emerson Hough both included characters in their novels and short stories based on Burleson.
