- Summary:
- This memoir of the Wild West, edited and notated by famed Western expert and writer Frederick Nolan, details the life and times of Frank Clifford, a Welsh immigrant who became an outlaw and roughneck cowboy in the American Southwest during the end of the nineteenth century. The work follows Clifford as he invents new lives, and new aliases, across the West, staying one step ahead of the law and his enemies, and finally becoming a respected citizen of a small Kansas town and a leader of its city government. The account was dictated to an acquaintance in the 1940s and was given to the editor of this volume some fifty years later. The volume includes several black and white photographs.
