SIGNED AND DATED BY THE AUTHOR with no inscriptions. One of 100 copies released in Willcox, Arizona in 2009. A well researched volume detailing the life of one of Tombstone's cowboys. In his 63 years he was a ranger, bank robber, claim jumper, saloon keeper, felon, wood cutter, cattle thief, murderer, deputy sheriff, constable, freighter, and goat catcher.
