Logan would lead many lives, that of a rustler, a gunman, a bank robber and a train robber. Their aunt Mrs. Hiram Lee, who lived in Dodson, Missouri raised Harvey and his three brothers. Harvey left home at age nineteen and went west. Curry was accompanied by two of his brothers and a cousin Bob Lee. They ended up in Wyoming, where they started a cattle rustling business, which turned out to be a cattle ranch with stolen cows near Landusky in Montana.

In the 1890's Harvey and his brothers sold their guns to the Red Sash gang during the Johnson County War. In 1894 Harvey shot and killed the founder of Landusky, they returned to cattle rustling after the killing.
