Synopsis

Beating Back is a historical book written by Al Jennings and published in 1914. The book chronicles the author's life as a notorious outlaw in the American West during the late 19th century. It details his criminal activities, including bank robberies and train heists, and his eventual capture and imprisonment. However, the book is not solely focused on Jennings' criminal past. It also delves into his personal life and the events that led him to a life of crime. Jennings shares his thoughts on the justice system, his experiences in prison, and his eventual rehabilitation and redemption. Beating Back is a unique firsthand account of a notorious outlaw's life and provides insight into the criminal underworld of the American West during the late 1800s. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Western history, true crime, or the human capacity for redemption.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A l Jennings in a New York club frequented by actors, painters and writers. Arriving one day for a late luncheon, I found the round table occupied by a congenial group, having a mighty good time. There was a stranger present; and I marked him on first sight as a Somebody. He was a little man, hardly more than five feet tall; he had a shock of bright auburn hair and a face, what with tan and sun-wrinkles over a ruddy skin, like a baked apple. I slipped into the vacant seat beside him. Someone introduced him as Mr. Jennings; he replied in a Western accent and turned upon me the beams of his personality.
