[Red Dead Redemption] The year is 2021, how relevant are the Van-Der-Linde gang and the O’Driscoll gang in terms of Wild West history?

For example, if a western film or television series is being made and wants to reference real life gangs and such, would the Van Der Linde or the Odriscoll gang be mentioned for ‘historical accuracy’ purposes? 

What if someone is taking a college course about the Wild West? When they’re learning about all the outlaws of that time, are the Van Der Linde and Odriscoll gang going to be mentioned by the professor alongside all the real outlaws of that time?

The Van Der Linde gang itself, and Arthur... not so much. They basically excelled (until the end) at anonymity until Dutch's ego got away from him in his growing mental illness. Look at how Arthur so often slid into being a random nobody. 

Unfortunately, despite the sheer massive scope of insane things Arthur did -- he singlehandedly ended multiple major leftover gangs and *a major Confederacy veteran terrorist gang* -- history will probably overlook him for decades. If the right historian turns over the right material and writes the right book, Arthur will be a major historical figure. 

Now, *John*, on the other hand.... 

...rose from being a nobody to a petty (and ineffective) old west criminal. Jailed. **Rescued from a state prison on an island in an insane hot air balloon chase.** That alone is a damn Hollywood film. Then all the crazy he does in the epilogue. 

And then, oh yeah: he helped ***liberate MEXICO in a major way.***

John Marsten will be a legend of the west. Arthur, as history revises as ever, will rise, but be in his shadow.
